3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a huge white head. Aroma of yeast, British hops / resin and orange zest. Flavour of spicy, zesty hops, yeast, sort of a soap quality, balanced by sufficient caramel malts. The yeast is quite prominent here creating a nice dry palate. Spicy, perfectly balanced flavour profile. Very good.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured out of a 500ml bottle. Color was a murky amber with frothy, long-lasting head. Aroma is floral, earthy and a bit hoppy. Palate was malty with a sweet finish, notes of pine and spice. First impression was obviously not American, and yes I know it’s Norwegian. I didn’t love it, but I was happy to try it. Haandbryggeriet makes really amazing beer, this unfortunately wasn’t their best.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Hazy brown color with a medium-sized beige head. Fruity aroma with orange, pine, malt and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, citrus, orange and some alcohol. Slightly bitter finish and medium body.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
500 ml. bottle. Label reads the alias Dopple Dram. Pours a thick ivory, rapidly collapsing head, with heavy lacing, over a hazy amber (SRM 13) body....nose is light pine, light grapefruit, pineapple, toffee/caramel.....taste is toffee/caramel, light pine, grapefruit, hints of pineapple, finishing floral honey with a light lingering bitterness....mouth feel medium, alcohol warmth present, carbonation low after initial exuberance. The malt back bone is more prominent than in many "American" D/IIPA’s, with the hops adding aroma and flavor, but not the heavy dominating bitterness. This leads to a sweeter overall product than usual. It is a gentle beer. BJCP 7/3/15/4/7
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cloudy honey brown with a very hard to pour very aggressive crown. Aroma was light and refreshing, orangy lemon with a mild funk, never would have guessed this was a double by the smell, still good. Taste also light and easy drinking. Lemon, mild bitter, clean aftertaste, mild dirt. Is really a double? I can’t even taste the high alcohol. Good beer nothing memorable.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Has a hazy dull amber colour with a very small off-white head. The aroma is dominated by a nice sweet and fruity hop tones with peaches and some alcohol. Powerful and well-balanced flavours of fruity hops with some alcohol in the end. Feels a bit sour in the mouth, and is surprisingly only medium bitter. This is a really good and aromatic DIPA, and feels more like a british kind of IPA.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
16.9 fl oz bottle, labeled "dobbel dram" with a cooler-looking green label (instead of the one pictured). Outrageously large thick foamy off-white head, here. Like, a 2:1 head:beer ratio. Pour it slowly. Good splotches of lace. Hazy golden-amber color. Very nice spicy hop aroma, with floral notes. Pronounced, but soft carbonatioin. Drier texture. Good, spicy aftertaste. Tasty bitterness, light alcohol. Very nice to enjoy with some Kroger take-out sushi. Pretty pricey here in the US, though.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden brown with white head and foggy body. Nose has orange, spice musty earthy hop aroma. Slight bitterness balanced with a good amount of malt sweetness. Medium body, very earthy slightly dry.
