Bottle 355ml.
Unclear medium amber orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, light beige head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel, heavy hoppy, pine, orange. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081122]

A hazy amber beer with a small disappearing orange head. The aroma is super hoppy - with lots of alfa acid - lovely but overpowers any other aromas. The flavor is like chewing on fresh hops giving the impression of lots of alfa acids, hop oil, and a bitter end. Nice one.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Beautiful, dark amber - almost yellowish brown head. Fat aromas of alcohol and hops. Extremely potent body, lots of sweetness and caramel on a bed of hops, hops, hops. And hops. 200+ IBUs, 10 different hop varieties and dry-hopped in 26 days is extreme by any standard. 240705

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy deep orange to amber with a fully gone head. Dense pinewood hoppy aroma. Solid sweet malty at first but with a very intense dark hoppy flavour following. Quite dominant and almost overempowering. Solid roasted caramel malt for base providing some decent counter balance to this.

Bottled. Clear orange coloured with an off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with lots of aroma hops. Sweet fruity flavour with lots of hops. Long hoppy aftertaste. Fantastic. Thanks to Engelsmann for sharing this.

Bottle, 13%. Spicy hop aroma. Cloudy dark orange colour. The flavour starts off quite hoppy, grassy and grapey aroma hops. Turns quite sweet, almost syrupy. The bitterness is distinct, slightly rough.

Flavor: rich caramel flavor with lots of balancing bitter hops, the age takes the edge off the grassy aroma and allows the caramel flavor comes through, the bitterness still lasts forever but is quite tasty

Deep red, slightly hazy color, small off-white head. Very hoppy nose has berryish nose: rasberries, strawberries - I would say even marijuana. Full-bodied. Fruity, very hoppy flavor. Did I say ganja in aroma? It’s also in the flavor. Berries, grass, very resiny flavor. Marmelade malty backbone.
