| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2008 (Bottled, 0.66l, 9.1% ABV) Hazy amber with a small, but firm head. Strong and fresh pine-lemony-hoppy aroma. Pine-hoppy, aromatic flavor with lots of grainy, pale malt - and warming, but not intrusive alcohol. Somewhat similar to NBE, but sharper and not quite as malty. Long, bitter aftertaste. Medium to full body with somewhat high carbonation. A quality double IPA for the of sharper hop fans.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of .Ughsmash. Aromas of floral and pine are great thoughout beer. Cooper body off white head and plenty of lacing. Flavor is citrus but at times is over bitter and dry. Leaves a dry aftertaste on the palate making you want water than another beer.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 3, 2008 22 oz. bottle - thanks to weeheavySD for the trade; pours cloudy, pale orange with slight white head; aromas are sugary sweet with hop and malt mix; pretty much perfection to this point; but going down, it seemed the nose and flavors were out of whack; very bitter and incredibly dry; the body is missing the malt balance as it drinks almost like apple syrup; overall, a little too bitter for my liking fonefan (11944), VestJylland, Denmark

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 25, 2008 22oz bottle. Poured a clear medium orange color. Head was bubbly, off white, and reduced over a minute or so to a soapy film. Aroma was of caramel, raw sprucy hops, and alcohol. There was some sweetness initially, but it was ruthlessly suppressed by moderate to assertive hop bitterness of about 7 out of 10 that lingered beyond the finish. I tasted caramel, orange liqueur, and sprucy hops. And the bitterness keeps on keepin’ on. Pretty good stuff. thingstr (5), Hedehusene, Denmark does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 25, 2008 Flot cremet skum på en orangeagtig øl. Duften er overvældenen, smagen lige så! Eftersmagen er de først par slurke meget bitter, efterhånden virker øllet mere og mere rund og lækkert i munden.
