Big thanks to tkrjukoff for this one as a bonus. Cheers, Timo! Pours a hazy, opaque orange with a white head. Nose is orange flesh, honey, apricot, and plenty of caramel. Flavor is similar- citrus all over- apricot, honey, grapefruit, orange, and some slight alcohol. Very enjoyable DIPA, full-bodied overall with lingering grapefruit into the finish.

Alf_Bigfoot (13) - Solna, SWEDEN - FEB 14, 2012
Bottle 33cl. When I first tried this one (Batch nr1) I thought to myself - "I’ve got to buy more bottles of this one!". This is propably the best beer I drank all year 2011! Filled with Hops, Citrus and pleny of Passion(fruit). This is truly an Once in a lifetime experience. Rumours claims that Oppigårds ar planning a DIPA of their own for 2012, in the same spirit as Drakens.
