Commercial Description:
This is our interpretation of the hoppiest of all beers, as it was served to the British troops in the eighteenth century. We have chosen to give this a Danish attitude with the addition of large amounts of malted rye. Together with excessive quantities of American hops this yields a complex and intensely bitter ale with a spicy bouquet and flavor. Enjoy it with spicy dishes, where the bitterness will complement the flavors. Ølfabrikken Rug IPA is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.

My favorite ipa - Full of malty spices, intense aroma an a benchmark hoppy flavour. My heart is full of sorrow for the heroic brewer who crafted this masterpiece but now has lost his brewery!

Amber, creamy head. Grande aroma of blood orange, metal, grape. The flavour harbours a tremendous clash of bitter citrus and sugarsweet perfume. It finishes with a bit of alcohol. To me this beer is amazing and proves the point that Ølfabrikken cannot only compete with but also on occasion overtake Mikkeller as the best Danish Microbrewery. (B - 03.2)

Crowned bottle. Copper color with slight turbidy, like a bottle conditioned IPA although I don’t know if it’s bottle conditioned. Great head retention and lacing. Big citrus aroma with highlights of grapefruit, lemon, pine and some spiciness. The flavor is the same with richness and complexity. The finish is hoppy but refreshing and does not linger too long. Nice job Danes!

courtesy of Papsoe - cloudy dark reddish-brown colour with a big creamy beige head; huge hoppy aroma with notes of flowers, apricots, cream and mocha; a bit sticky, medium to full-bodied; robust bitterness; very long hoppy, earthy and bitter finish - complex; what a beer !
