Commercial Description:
Editor's note: Only 1000 bottles produced.

Danish: På amerikansk betyder Rated X, at noget er forbudt for børn. Og med Rated XX mener vi, at vi har lavet en øl, der er SERIØST forbudt for børn. Men når det er sagt, så indrømmer vi blankt, at vi selv ikke er stort andet end legesyge børn, af den lidt nørdede slags, der kan li’ at lege med….humle. Næsten alt er prøvet i øllets forunderlige verden, men vi tvivler dog på, at noget andet bryggeri tidligere har sendt en øl på markedet, der indeholder: Zeus, Mittelfrüh, Brewers Gold, Crystal, Simcoe, Perle, Mt, Hood, Hersbrücker, Challenger, Fuggles, Liberty, Styrian Goldings, Columbus, Chinook, Amarillo, Bramling Cross, East Kent Goldings, Willamette, Palisade og Saaz humle i én og samme bryg. Jep, du læste rigtigt: 20 (XX) forskellige humler fandt vi plads til. De er drysset i med nænsom og gavmild hånd hvert tredje minut i løbet af de 120 minutters kogning og til sidst tørhumlet med East Kent Goldings. Og til at balancere dette humlehelvede har vi skabt en ganske solid maltbase bestående af engelske Crystal og Maris Otter malte. Ud af anstrengelserne er kommet en ganske solid Imperial IPA, som måske ikke overraskende er ganske humlet. Humletågerne står nemlig tæt i glasset og efterlader de mest eventyrlige duftindtryk, hvor især ferskentonerne byder sig lokkende til. Rated XX er den ultimative våde drøm for humlenørderne. Prøv den mens tid er, for vi kan ikke gøre den om.

English: In American Rated X means that something is not allowed for kids, With Rated XX we’ve made a beer that’s SERIOUSLY not suited for kids. But on that note we have to admit, that we’re just kids ourselves. Nothing but geeky kids who love to play around with….hops. Most things have already been tried in the wondrous world of beer, but we seriously doubt that any other brewery has ever released a beer that contains: Zeus, Mittelfrüh, Brewers Gold, Crystal, Simcoe, Perle, Mt, Hood, Hersbrücker, Challenger, Fuggles, Liberty, Styrian Goldings, Columbus, Chinook, Amarillo, Bramling Cross, East Kent Goldings, Willamette, Palisade and Saaz hops in the same brew. Yep, you got it right, we’ve added no less than 20 (XX) different hops during our 120 minute boil. A new addition of hops every 3 minutes. To balance this hoppy hell we created a solid malt bill consisting of English Crystal and Maris Otter malts. Out of all this rises a fairly solid Imperial IPA that – not surprisingly – is rather hoppy. In your glass you’ll find a complex mist of hop aroma with the smooth peachy notes being the most prominent. Rated XX is the ultimate wet dream for all you hopheads out there. Try it now, ‘cause you’ll never get the chance again.

Dark hazy orange With a dense orange head. Hoppy (big surprise!) aroma, almost metallic, earthy and bloodlike with some caramel to make contrasts. The flavour starts out as grape and lemon and finishes almost harsh and burning - but it’s all good. A powerfull IPA proving that danes do know how to maky hoppy hapiness!

500, hand-labeled by the artist known as Maria. Thank you my dear! Slightly hazy medium amber. Light, somewhat moussy grayish rim and film. Enormously sharp grapefruit nose. Earth and funk under that. Creamy body on the high side of medium. Prickly carb. Earthy biscuity mid-palate with grapefruit, apricot, and a bit of funk. Nice crisp resiny finish. Wow, incredibly nice and bold DIPA from northern Europe...not an oxymoron at all, but nice to find for sure.

0.5 l bottle. Hazy dark amber color. Sweet, tart and very hop aroma with strong grassy dry hops, pine, lemon, mango and grapefruit. Bittersweet flavor with plenty of grassy and tannic hop flavor, lemon, pine, grapefruit and biscuity maltiness. Very bitter and hoppy, but the hoppiness is too grassy and harsh.

Bottle. Poured a clear red-orange color with an off white head. Smelled of mango, apricot, light caramel, orange, and a whiff of pine resin. Light to medium bodied with moderate to assertive bitterness. Lots of pineapple and pine in the flavor with less dry-ish toffee. Pretty good stuff.

<i>A Mes rate: bottle shared with Hog Town Harry. Thanks massively to Jan and Charlotte.</i><br />Awesome red amber colour with a thin beige head that can be added to at will with a swill. I really like this. Big sweaty feet hop aroma with some nice oaky notes. good spice and some gorgeous peppery alcohol. A superb mix of grass and resin. The flavour is of an equally high quality. More peppery and spicy alcoholic hop juice with a truly excellent bready malt base. Stunning grassy notes and I thought it was surprisingly balanced for a double IPA. As bitter as you like in the finish with the warm alcohol notes being done to perfection. Really, really good.
