Taste starts with mild oranges and bread then the resinous pine hop bitterness takes over .finish is spoiled a little by some alcohol sharpness my first Norwegian beer and a decent start

Bouteille de 500ml. Batch 44 brassée le 16.01.12 et meilleure avant le 16.12.14. Bière orange qui ne fit pas de bruit à l’ouverture. Le nez est de sirop d’érable, de caramel, de vieux houblons qui donnent dans le registre des fruits exotiques. En bouche elle manque d’effervescence, il y a du sirop d’érable, purée de fruits et une pointe d’amertume mais rien de spéciale.

April 1, 2011 - on draught at Blue Monk. Clear amber with an average lasting off-white fizzy head. Aroma is sweet fruity malt, a fair bit of alcohol, peach and a lot of resin bitterness. Taste, very fruity and sweet - a bit like grape juice (? that’s what my memo says) - lots of resin, boozy - mild carbonation, thick body, a little acidic, a long boozy/dry finish - good, but need more aroma bitterness.

50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours hazy orangey with a thin layer of lace. The nose has oranges, apricots and a hint of earthiness. The taste has marmalade, parma violet sweets and then the marmalade returns on the finish. The palate has a medium to large body and big tangy texture and a refreshing finish, despite the big alcohol. Overall nice beer - like the way the hops have come out jammy because of the alcohol levels.

0,5 flaske (batch 499): Deilig floral og grasaktig aroma.javascript: RadioSel(overall,19); Fint skum som etterlater et slør langs glasset. Første smaksinntrykk er godt, men etter hvert overtar en besk og noe metallisk ettersmak. De 9% er behagelig tilbaketrukket i smaksbildet.

Wow does this smell like alcohol and paint, especially as it warms up. The flavor is definitely bitter but not necessarily all that great. It just isn’t all that balanced. I’ll take my SoCal IPA hops.

A-- Almost a gusher on opening. Poured a hazy, dark orange honey amber color. Lots of active carbonation in the pour and a pretty large off white head. Two fingers that slowly died down. No lacing left but noticeable alcohol legs to this. Very active on swirling as get a three finger head. Once again slow fading head. S-- Orange and Carmel mostly. Bits of ethanol in the nose. Very malty nose to this. T-- Rye stood out off the bat. Lots of bread in the taste. Hops are quite reserved in this. Lots of orange and citrus in the taste. M-- A malty orange cream soda is what I thought. Lots of orange and bits of cream from the malt. Some orange or mandarin bitterness in the mid and also quite gritty, or earthy, with touches of creamyness as well. Alcohol is obvious in the back with an ethanol finish. Very chewy DIPA. Pine does make a showing when it warms up more. More mid and back palate. O-- I think the malts make this interesting. Good in some ways and in other ways not. A little too chewy at times and the alcohol does become a nuisance at times. Lively but thick and chewy and like the cream aspect of this but it does get a bit erratic at times.

Une bouteille de 50 cl. Batch 434. Un liquide embouteillé le 16.01.12 et possiblement meilleur avant le 16.12.14. À l’ouverture, une capsule qui n’offre aucune résistance. Au versement, un liquide qui tombe à plat. Aucune mousse ni bulles qui montent. Une robe flouée qui dévoile une couleur orangée. Un nez d’herbes avec du parfum et des notes épicées. Un murmure de céréales grillées. Des saveurs douces balancées par des houblons floraux. Une touche fruitée dans les premiers instants de la dégustation. Une touche de n’importe quoi dans les derniers insants de la dégustation. Une bouche plutôt moyenne avec un pétillement au trépas et une texture huileuse. Une finale amère qui a du punch avec ses fleurs aux dents plutôt longues. Bref, une proposition laide handicapée par son manque de vivacité.

50 cl bottle at home in Skövde. Hazy yellow/amber beer with a small withe head. Hoppy aroma with some grassy and floral notes. Hoppy, sweet and bitter flavour.

Bottle, from a trade with Cunningham. Somewhat hazy orange/copper color with a nice lasting white head. Fruity citrus aroma, apples, mango, pepper, grassy, some perfume, grapes, some biscuits. Bitter hop flavor, creamy, perfume, metal notes, citrus, grapefruit. Decent beer but something is missing. Not really how I want my DIPA:s...
