COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Only 120 precious barrels were brewed, adding more than half a ton of extra malt and twice the amount of Amarillo hops, so prepare your self for a full sensory explosion. The double dry-hop addition elevates the grapefruit-like aroma and flavor to an outrageous intensity, while the added malt raises the alcohol level from 7% all the way to 10% by volume.

Ungstrup (23928) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 13, 2008
Draft at the brewpub. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong grassy notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass and hops as well as lighter notes of grapefruit and an alcohol note showing up very late and which also burns lightly in the throat.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours a clear golden with an off-white head. Intense, herbal hop aroma. Solid body, sweet thick malts and fruit with a massive, herbal hoppiness. Bitter finish indeed but lacks some refinement. 220611

omhper (15956) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - SEP 1, 2009
Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear deep golden, brief head. Doughy malt comes through already in the aroma. Grapefruity hops compliment it well. Sweet and fruity with full body and pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Strong flavour of toffee, sugar and grapefruit. Powerful but balanced bitterness.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - OCT 21, 2010
Draught, 9.3%. Good grapefruity and otherwise fruity aroma. Cloudy orange copper colour. Very small white head. The flavour has a distinct grapefruit note note as many other APAs, but also a milder fruity note to round it off. The bitterness is not so distinct at first, what is more apparent is the nice hop bite in the finish. Very well-balanced, but could probably have done with a little less alcohol.

hazy yellow, frothy white head, sweet tangerine and pine aroma, lots of sweet citrus flavor, yet another double IPA but just as yummy as all of the others, light bitter finish complements rather than distracts,

Beautiful copper color, hazy. Luscious caramel and toffee aroma, with sweet nuts, a hint of citrus fruits. Smooth mouthfeel, rich caramel flavor; strong hopping, with a balanced mix of bitter oranges and resins. Excellent.
