Color ambrato intenso con bella schiuma persistente. L’ aroma è la festa del luppolo; è semplicemente fantastico, le varierà di luppoli le donano una freschezza e un intensità davvero irrefrenabile. Frutta (arancia predominante) e leggere note erbacee. Anche in bocca la presenza dei vari luppoli è ovviamente dominante, ma perfettamente equilibrata con il malto, così che, è si amara ma non troppo estrema. Finale lungo, soddisfacente, di frutta secca e leggera liquirizia. Gran bere, gran birra.

Misty brownish. Rich aroma with fruit, smoke, burned sugar and some sour citrusy hints.Nice bitterness. A full, very well balanced ale that could be a regular at my table.

Hazy amber with light brown head - aroma of hops right from the start - well balanced between malt and hop bitterness - very nice bitterness that continues into the finish - very good beer

Botella de 330ml. Copa de Vino. Saboreada en dic´11. Ambar anaranjada. Algo velada. Corona amarillenta y copiosa. Buena retención y collares. Intenso aroma de lúpulo resinoso, pino y Madera. Agradable malteado seguido de un creciente amargor de lúpulo. Cuerpo medio y carbonatación suave. Resinas en el retrogusto con notas de madera. Refrescante. 330ml bottle. Oversized glass. Enjoyed on dec´11. Orangish amber. Chill haze. Copious yellowish white crown. Good retention & collars. Intense resiny hop aroma. Pine & wood to the nose. Gentle maltiness followed by increasing hop bitterness . Medium body, soft carbonation. Resins on the aftertaste. Woody notes. Refreshing.

330ml, funky wide bottomed bottle. Pours a clear, deep copper with a massive, rocky tan head with loads of sticky lacing. Nice! Aroma is very inviting. Floral, resinous and fruity hops, slightly perfumy, spicy, with faint sugary, caramel and perhaps a hint of bready malts, and a slight sour note. This is quite a bitter bruiser of a brew, more because percieved bitterness than massive hop amounts I suspect. Bitter from start to finish more or less, lacks a little more malts to back up the hop attack. Light to medium bodied, mellow carbonation. Should be great as a refreshing summer drink.

Very haze tangerine color with nice foam. Hops and tropical fruits on aroma and taste, with a nice bitter hoppy aftertaste. Very nice beer.

Very strong american hoppy nose, with a slight malty balancing. Well brewed indeed but a bit too watery and dry for my likings.

Bottle, 33cl, from Vinmonopolet, Oslo. 5.4% ABV. BB 15.11.2010. Two-inch offwhite head, slowly diminishing. Reddish amber colour, fairly clear, becoming hazier towards the end of the bottle. Fabulous nose; hoppy and sweet malty. Medium-bodied palate initially with a prominent near-IPA hop bitterness, but it finishes a bit harsh and thin, leaving a somewhat unbalanced impression.

UPDATED: MAR 3, 2012 Ha vinto molti premi e li merita tutti! Birra con un’aroma meraviglioso di luppolli! Ottimo colore ambrato limpido, sapore intenso di luppoli e amaro! Cmq non invadente e molto molto beverina!

Molto equilibrata. Aroma luppolato. Al palato si presenta agrumata ( pompelmo sopratutto) e luppolata (ma nella giusta misura). Le note fruttate del finale equilibrano tutto. Ottima.
