COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Her på Amager ligger vi behageligt langt fra Janteland, vi er ikke bange for excesser og mådehold ligger os uendelig fjernt. Faktisk er det lige før, at vi betragter frådseri som en dyd snarere end en synd – i hvert fald når det handler om én ting: humle! Vi har fundet de humler som skinnede klarest i humlerummet og nærmest tiggede om at blive brugt i rigelige mængder. Og det gjorde vi så – som det sig hør og bør i en Dobbelt IPA af højeste karat. Vi har frådset i syndig grad – og vi kan li’ det! Mon ikke også du kan?
Vi er ikke stolte over at være syndere, men i det mindste er vi åbne omkring det...

English: At the Amager brewery we are comfortably situated far away from small-town modesty; we are not afraid of excess, and the term “moderation” is simply not found in our vocabulary. To us, gluttony is considered a virtue rather than a sin - at least when it comes to one thing: hops! While making this beer we targeted the hops which shone brightest in our hop room, as if they were almost begging to be used in copious quantities. And that is what we did, as befits a Double IPA of the highest caliber. We have squandered to a sinful degree - and we love it. And we bet that you will too!
We’re not proud to be sinners, but at least we’re open about it…

GT2 (3942) - Washington DC, USA - MAY 15, 2012
Tap at CBC. Absolutely nasty artwork for this one. Good god. Clear gold with medium carbonation. Soapy lace. Decent retention. Onion hop nose with sweet candies and sticky malt. Rustic. Mild mango and orange beta acid hops. Taste is sappy, resiny. Palate is bitter, sharp, palate wrecking astringency. Had to lay off this one so I could taste more stuff.

Sigmund (3707) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - MAY 13, 2012
Sample at Copenhagen Beer Festival. Hazy orange colour. Lovely aroma of fruity (tropical fruits) hops, piney / spruce / resin too. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, with a solid bitterness in the finish. Good beer.
