Had this at the brewery and the brewpub, delicious. Very balanced while being very hoppy, if that makes any sense. I can’t say much more that hasn’t been said, great beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber-brown with a thick fluffy white head. Aroma is hoppy, with a lot of pine, some fruit and malt. Taste is big and bitter, of hops and malt, with pine, citrus, caramel, and molasses notes. Lingering sweet malt and bitter hops flavors. Very tasty.

Sample at EBF Copenhagen. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are rich with hops and flowers.

Great malt flavor. Just a bit too much bitterness for balance. Could be dryer, even at 9% there is too much residual sugar left. Citrus and surprisingly a grape sent present. The hop flavor pops and then fades away. All the components are great but together they do not fit perfectly.

Bottle (EBF2008)
Peachy aroma. Sticky zingy palate. Numbing. 1-dimensional hoppiness, and neither interesting nor exciting to me. Not a well balanced beer at all.

Bottle. Clear amber colour with a small white head. Powerful hoppy aroma and taste with rich notes of caramel and citrus.

Great IPA! Definitely one of the best I have had although for the price I do prefer the taste and cost of the 60 minute. I love the essence of the grapefruit hops. Definitely a great beer!

Clear amber with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with loads of caramel, toasted malt and hoppy notes. Sweet flavor with grapefruit, pine, caramel and loads of hops to finish it off bitter. Excellent!
