Poured from bottle. Not a fan of IPA’s, but this one wasnt too bad. Taste was sweet/sour malts, florals, and some spices, followed by the hops...Not bad...Not great, but drinkable.

50 clE. Dark copper with a medium and lasting, sticky head. Aroma is slight molasses, marshmallow, and root spices. Initial flavor is really one of the most unexpected dry malty-sourish twangs ever, but I get used to it after three-four swigs, and I kind of like it. Maybe its Belgian horse-blanket? It seems to be the earthy, fruity hop flavor that is the difference maker; good or bad is a matter of opinion. Some pretzel, metallic and plastic notes. Also a bit river-bottomish or swampy methinks; kind of like a good catfish. There is definitely some dry, bittering hops in there. Palate is kind of smooth, dryish and light-medium bodied. This beer is definitely chock full of flavor, and is a hell of alot better than the cask version, but is not for everyone.

Bottle - Tasting at Plan B. Clear golden - white head. Syrup, sugar, brown sugar, malty sweetess, light light hoppy, light grainy, fruity. Boring.

My bottle shared with HogTownHarry and tupalev. Pours a clear dark orange with an average size diminishing off-white head. Mild flavour and aroma of sweet malt, light floral hops, some grain and fruit -- meh, somewhat dull stuff. Light bodied. Disappointing -- it’s drinkable but I expected better.

Pours a golden amber, nice and clear. Not much of a head to speak of. Aroma of slight malt, noting too overpowering. Tastes ever so metallic then leads onto an almost tarty tangy thing, almost a grapefruit tang, finishing with some malt

Bottle. From LIVA, Domhusvej, Kolding. Pours a clear amber with lots of bubbles reaching up to a small creamy off-white head.Aroma has caramel mixed with a little bitterness. Flavour is sweet, but with a peppery burning hops note. Not the longest aftertaste, nor the craziest regular taste. But it is nice, medium bitter, quite sweet and very fresh. I like it despite its mediority.
