COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Editor's note: This beer was formerly known as Holbæk IPA.
The bottled version has been brewed at Herslev Bryghus and holds 6.5% ABV.

Danish: Lys, frugtig ale efter engelsk forbillede med masser af smag fra Marris Otter malten og den originale Whitbread gær. Duften er krydret med Saazer humle, og den fyldige øl har tydelig humlekarakter.

English: A light, fruity English inspired ale with lots of flavour from the Marris Otter malts and the original Whitbread yeast. The aroma is spiced with Saazer hops and the full-bodied beer has a distinct hop character.

thewolf (9888) - Kolding, DENMARK - FEB 15, 2010
Bottle, bought @ Bjergtrolden, Roskilde.
Clear golden with lots of bubbles. Medium, fizzy, white head on top. Aroma has pilsner malt sweetness, some doughy character, light baking yeast and a hint of grassy hops. Highish carbonation, kinda fat and oily mouthfeel that doesn’t really fit it well. Flavour is heavy sweet, toffee-like malts, doughy and light citric and grassy bitterness. Quite the weird beast...
