500 ml bottle@Hacket, Göteborg. A red beer with big fluffy lasting beige head. Intense citrussy aroma, unripe oranges and red grapefruit. A nice scent of sweetish malts to balance. Taste has good malt base, and a strong fruity hop bitterness to deal with it. Near full-bodied. Long bitter ending. Balanced and punchy with high drinkability.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 21 Sep 2007) Reddish amber colour with frothy beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with dark fruit, orange peel and pine needles. Fruity taste with notes of dark fruit, grapefruit, orange and loads of pine needles in a long, hoppy finish. Great hop character, slightly sweetish. Great beer.

(Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse No 68, Stockholm, 13 april) Dark brown colour with a firm off-white head. Fruity nose with citrus peel, blood oranges and loads of hop aromas. Fruity taste with the same notes of citrus and blood oranges. Lovely hop character, but the taste is slightly less balanced than the nose. Still, great beer, and this brewery seems to be growing in confidence.

50cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours unclear orange amber with a good lasting head. Nose & taste is of hops. Quite spicy hops. Citrus, pine & grapefruit. Fresh & crisp. Super well made IPA!

Draught. Has an amber colour with a off-white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, caramel and hops. Nice! Flavour is loads and loads of tropical fruits - pineapple! Also some notes of caramel and pure hops. Bitter from start to finish. Nice one!

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a deep cloudy dark amber with a lasting golden head. The nose is soo fresh and filled with hops the american way. I also sense some vanilla, hip and caramel. The taste is bitter with an overwhelming tribute to americas way of filling bottles with hops and alot of green fields. The taste could be more complex. The palate is surprisingly creamy and makes a nice mouthfeel. Finish is bitter notes.

Bottle. Pours deep amber, slightly hazy, with a big frothy light tanned head.Massive C hops aroma, pine and grapefruit. Taste is good juicy oranges, a rich malty body supports the hops well. Really good IPA from Dugges.

27-MAY-2011, bottle @Copenhagen BeerFestival 2011. Orange with off-white head. Lovely creamy IPA with citrus, pine and long bitterness. Fine malty backbone.

Aroma of flowers and citrus. Appearance is amber with white head. Taste of citrus and fruits. The quite high ABV gives a bit of sweeter taste than the usual IPA and nice flavors are shoving. Overall a very good IPA

Bottle. Amber, slightly hazy, with an off-white head that disappears quickly but leaves lacing. Aroma: pineapple, pine/resin, citrus, toffee. Taste: pineapple, toffee, caramel, pepper, citrus, medium bitterness. Medium-bodied. My favourite IPA from Dugges, I guess.
