A little bit disappointed by this "Triple IPA"... Good tasting but not bitter enough and too much sweet. An amber beer with good smell of hops and malts with citrus, a bit floral. The yeasts smell like caramel. Not the better beer by Emelisse brewery.

330 ml bottle, rated from backlog. Hazy dark golden with a orange-ish head. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, grain and orange, big hop notes. Flavor is bitter; citrus and orange, malt, grain, caramel and alcohol.

Pours deep amber, small top, minimal lasing. Aroma is dominant malt sweet plus very fruity hoppy. Taste is medium sweet with light bitter level although aftertaste is above medium bitter. Body is extremely thick for DIPA, bit oily texture, mild astringent mouthfeel, seems light carbonated. O.A. - I was expecting more from this style, more bitter, astringent pattern, but as a beer I liked it. Something between Belgian strong ale and Scotch ale to me.

Bottle from Voldby Koebmandsgaard. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Strong citrus fruits, pine, sweet caramel malts. Great sweet/bitter balance in this, with initial sweetness and then nice boozy bitter finish.
