Bottle thanks to Bitbucket!
Transparent copper body with a small white head on top. Nose of tea and orange, light fruit compliments. Flavor is more bitter, still some orange and berry, now also some grapefruit. Nice balance with warmth. Harmonious beer even with a nice, varied array.

Aroma: Low hop aroma detected. Some malt aroma. Appearance: A very nice golden amber with a white head. Taste: Some caramel, not sweet, good hop flavor. Palate: Dry finish, a little astringent. Overall: Pretty tasty. A little on the dry side compared to most IIPAs I’ve had, but still very good.

Poured a very deep, yet clear amber, almost brown. Darkest IPA I have ever seen. Had very little head, and light lacing. Aroma is very, very sweet and fruity, I am picking up strawberries, which seems very odd, but it smells good. As it warms, the smell becomes more earthy and spicy. Taste is very earthy, almost dirt-like, yet still tasty. Notes of caramel, and brown sugar, but a sharp bitter finish. I don’t know what else to say about this IPA, just weird, but interesting.

From SkjoldBurne, Aarhus, DK. Bottled, 020412. Amber with white head. Aroma of hop spices and esters. Flavour with malt, caramel and spice.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are nice hops, flowers, caramel, malt and fruits. Nice bitter finish.

Clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel and rather hoppy - fruity and citrus. Flavor is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish. 100412

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. This beer is a hazy golden amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrusy hops and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of hops, grapefruit and sweet malt. The finish is hoppy with a citrus aftertaste. Above average overall.

Clear yellow gold pour. Decent head but nothing special. Smells of caramel malt and a hefty amount of gentle hops. I was kind of surprised to see this as an imperial IPA. I guess the ABV gets there at almost 8% but the hops are not as crazy as you might expect. They are really pretty mellow. The sweetness of the malt really pushes the bitterness here. At the same time. I do like this beer. While I don’t think it’s special, it is very drinkable. I’m having a 22 oz by myself without any difficulties. I enjoyed. Will drink another.

Bottle. Pours a slightly clear copper color with a thin white head. Very strong grapefruit aroma, even with a stuffy nose. i can sense the strong hops as well. Crisp taste with a strong sense of tart. Nice, light finish. Not too overpowering.

Orange in color. Bubbly white head with spotty lacing. Hoppy aroma with a hint of caramel. Starts off with a salty taste that ends with a rotten taste in your mouth. It taste like burnt hops. I cannot get the nasty aftertaste out of my mouth,

22 oz. bottle- Pours slightly hazy orange with a one inch creamy bone white head. Aroma is citrusy, cat piss, a little more malt than I would prefer. The taste is sweet citrus, mild hops for a beer of this caliber, malt is balanced here, but still light enough to be sessionable. Body is thin and watery, carbonation is very soft. Overall not my favorite of the style, but easy drinkin’ for sure. CORRECTION- I was so sick of this beer by the end of the 22 oz. bottle, I am not changing any of my numbers, but not as easy drinking as I thought.
