Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen
Cloudy blond color, small head. The aroma is mild, with fresh fruity hops, but also some yeast (maybe cheese too), and overall it doesn’t seem fresh anymore. Sweetish malt and toffee flavor, with a good mouthfeel and body strength, with a hint of honey; strange hop mix, the result is biscuity, piney and grassy altogether. The final shows sweet toffee and a good, mild blend of fruity and resiny hops, therefore being more attractive than the rest. Pleasant brew.

Consumed on tap at Mikkeller. It pours a light peach with poor head and retention. The aroma is a super resin bomb, almost too hoppy and too much alcohol as well, not any sweetness to balance just sticky resin...The taste is equally piney, its just too much to drink this. A solid effort for a real dipa in the American style, at this point to hoppy, balance it out and come back.

Tap, Football Pub. Generous finger of frothy white head; orange-gold body. Dank hop assault in the aroma with grapefruit a nice piny aroma and a touch of sweetness. Piny and very grapefruity, that’s nearly soft with some underlying sweetness. Almost balanced, but seems without a huge malt bill. Very dry and bitter finish. Some nice hop layers on this, and really awesome drinking.

Sampled @ Copenhagen Beer Festival 2010. Slightly dim golden body with a big foamy off-white head. Nice aroma of citric fruit dominated by peaches and a hint of pine. Flavor is citric fruity with some caramel malt and a rough bitter finish. Somehow plain, but damn nice.
