Big hop aroma. Golden coloured and strong in alcohol with a fruity pine flavour. A little dryness in a crisp and very bitter finish. jah noth (1015), Rochester, New York, USA Nov 5, 2009 Musty aroma of british malts and mild apples. Hazy amber in color with a rocky head and some lacing. Rather mush flavor of light caramel, english malt and the interesting hop. The yeast gives mild fruitiness and bears a resemblance to Rogue Brutal Bitter. Not bad, but Alpine’s Nelson showcases this hop a bit more. CapedBrewsader (260), Brasschaat, Belgium Oct 25, 2009 33cl bottle at home: hazy orange amber beer with seemingly low co2 forming a thin unstable yellowed head. Resinous hops rise from the glass drizzeled caramel. Slightly minerally points in the overall sweet sugar coated hops. Touches of biscuit and light solvent. Flavor is big resinous waves of piney and citrus hops. Surprisingly the hops are un-Nelson Sauvin like. I miss the gooseberries. Lightly toasted bread comes in and out before pale malt and caramel try to push everything out. The hops proove to be too powerful for the struggling malt which runs off into the sunset, chased by a regiment of earthy hops. Adenila (931), Denmark Oct 24, 2009 Tap at ølbaren. Stunning orange look with a foamy baige head that i could eat with my finger. I guessed Nelson Sauvin when i sniffed it, it definetly one of my favorite hop version. It had notes of mandarine and pineapple with flowers and toffee malt sweetness in the background. Flavor is nice fresh and bitter with soft sweet malt notes and very aromatic in the moutharoma aswell. Awsome! Pyobon (266), Sydney, Australia Oct 16, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber brown with no head. Beautiful hoppy aroma with flowers and fruit, including orange and lychees. Medium body and carbonation. Foretaste with a mix of light caramel and tangy fruitiness including lychees and orange with a long pleasnat bitter finish. An excellent IPA. JanVittrup (138), København V, Denmark Oct 15, 2009 Fantastic hop. Simple (dis)harmony between few elements. Deserves the name.
Very nice.
Purchased in BrewPub (Tap) trapez (766), Hilleroed, Denmark Oct 15, 2009 Bottle. Hops, fruits and grass in aroma. Golden amber colour with beige head. Plenty of hops bitterness with a very dry finish, like some dry wood. Nothing chaotic though. Joakgust (320), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 4, 2009 Bottle, 33cl - Amber colored beer with a frothy off white head. Aroma is malty with notes of caramel and fruity hops. Flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, litchi and citrus. Very nice and interesting single hops beer.
