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.

stefannilssons (791) - SWEDEN - MAY 7, 2013
Aromen är verkligen helt underbar och otroligt fruktig, smaken följer upp aromen på ett väntat sätt fast den känns lite tam. Balansen är oväntat bra och kroppen är okej.

Palme (2234) - Bergen, NORWAY - MAR 8, 2013
On tap @ Henrik. This is a near clear dark golden one with a nice big dense and almost creamy off-white top. On the nose it’s definitely fruity! Peachy with strawberries, sweet blue grapes and tones of fresh green pine cones. Not bad. More grassy-bitter in the taste with a strong hoppy profile. Some malty sweetness that definitely balances this quite elegantly. Some barch and dry branches in the finish. Light tones of dishwasher dispenser. Quite a tasty little thing this, and it has become one of my girlfriends regulars. 02.11.2012

Foffern (728) - Bodø, NORWAY - FEB 7, 2013
On tap at Henrik, Bergen. Has a golden amber colour with a big compact and creamy off-white head. A bit faint aroma of grains, some fruity orange and a malty touch in the background. Lots of malt in the flavour along with nougat, some leather and hops. Soft and rich mouthfeel, and has a medium bitterness. The beer feels a bit weird and unbalanced.
