Bottle. Dark golden colour with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, hop, citrus, pine. Flavour is sweet, hop, citrus, pine, malt. Pleasent hoppy beer i would like to drink again.

Bottle. It pours a nice, almost clear, golden body with a slightly small beige head. Grainy and malty nose with some citrus and pine. I expected more hop-aromas from it, as I remembered it as a really hoppy one, but that was three years ago. Sweetish and malty flavor too, with a good hoppyness giving citrus and pine flavors and bitterness, but as with the aroma, lower than expected. Full-bodied. The finish is sure on the hoppy side, but the sweet maltyness is present. It’s a nice beer, that’s for sure, but it felt a bit unfresh, and I remember it better. (080509)

Tap @ Aarhus beerfestival 2008. Aroma has some hops, flowers. Hazy, yellow coloured with a short head. Taste is mild bitter, hoppy, some caramel malts, hint of butter. Dry.

Tap @ Aarhus beerfestival 2008. Cloudy orange color, short head. Soft hoppy aroma, some flowers. Soft bitter taste. Nothing special.

Sample at Aarhus beerfestival. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are hops and flowers with a sugary sweetness.

From Vignoble, Aarhus, DK Bottled An IPA with no edges - a good example on that it does not have to come with an explosive bitterness

0.66 l bottle. Amber color with small head. Dry, hoppy, lemony, caramelly and a bit dull aroma. Rounded caramelly flavor with flowery, fruity and citrusy hops. Firm but not strong bitterness. BB date is five months ahead but this tastes oxidised.

Bottle. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Hazy dark orange body. Somewhat muddy aroma of roasted malt nuts caramel and grass. For an IPA this is a very mild one although the long bitter aftertaste reveals a good deal of hops. Low carbonation and caramel contributes to this impression.

66cl bottle: Orange amber with a white head. Hoppy - sweet & bitter aroma. Flowers, peach & malts. Very refined bitterness. Smooth, well rounded - very nicely balanced. Citrus freshness. Very drinkable IPA.
