COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: På Amager Bryghus har vi aldrig lagt skjul på, at vi er ægte humlehoveder. Vi elsker den lille grønne kogle for alt hvad den gør ved øllet. Og som alle ved, er det slet ikke så lidt: duft, smag, bitterhed og holdbarhed.
Vi hørte for et par år siden ude i byen, at såkaldte ”Single-hop” øl skulle være trendy, så på et direktionsmøde i frokoststuen besluttede vi, at Amager Bryghus også måtte have sin egen ”Single-hop” serie. Men da næsten alle humler allerede er gennemprøvet grundigt i alverdens ”Single-hop” øl-serier, så valgte vi at gå nye veje.
Vores gode, faste humleleverandør serverede os tre eksperimentelle humler, som endnu ikke er kommercialiseret. Om de nogensinde bliver det ved ingen endnu, derfor har de heller ikke rigtige navne. Så mine damer og herrer, byd velkommen til humlerne: HBC 342, HBC 436, HBC 517. De er helt nye, grønne og uprøvede, så tag godt imod dem.
Hver af disse tre eksperimentelle humler får hermed sin egen øl. Maltprofilen er den samme, en let Pale Ale. Vi er ikke ude på at lave humlebomber, så den største mængde af humlen er tilsat sent. Desuden har vi tørhumlet kraftigt for at fremhæve humlernes aromatiske egenskaber snarere end bitterheden.
Håber du må nyde denne anderledes American Pale Ale.

Sigmund (4280) - Tau, NORWAY - NOV 6, 2012
500 ml bottle, batch #478, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.5%. Deep golden to amber colour, slightly hazy, large white head. Moderately hoppy aroma, hints of grass, pine and dust. Light bodied, plenty of carbonation. Fairly dry, hoppy and resinous flavour with notes of woodwork, spicy hints, not very complex but highly drinkable.

Hazy copper color, with medium sized head. Some toffee aroma, but a bit more dusty and earthy than the others. Lean mouthfeel; dry flavor, some toffee and caramel; correct bitterness, but less hop quality.
Pleasant but rather simple; the easiest one of the set.

Palme (2311) - Bergen, NORWAY - NOV 2, 2012
On tap @ Henrik. This is a light blurry amber one with a small but heavy lacing off-white head. A bit low on the aroma, but I get some clear nutty tones here, light malty, some spices also? Yeah, I think so. Much the same in the taste. Really Hazel Nutty and light spicy, drymouthing in the finish. Light drinkable and quite alright tasting. 22.09.2012

Christian (9847) - Odense, DENMARK - OCT 29, 2012
On tap at Christian Firtal. Hazy golden with a small white head. Fruity and grassy hop aroma with a touch of bready malt. The flavour has hoppy notes of peach, gooseberry and pine along with some malt, and ends with a mild bitter finish

ClubGonzo (2764) - Bergen, NORWAY - OCT 28, 2012
On tap @ Henrik, Bergen. Deep clear orange body, large creamy white head. Lovely. Caramel, grass, melon, apricot and hints of piney syrup in the aroma. Taste is Melon, faint apricot, caramel and hints of resin and pine. Creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Nice and balanced, but not very original, with the exception of the syrupy, deep pine tones I usually reserve for DIPAs. And this is definitely not a DIPA.
