lovemyipas (420), sw burbs, Illinois, USA Jul 3, 2008 pours a cloudy dark orange/gold with a 11/2 finger fluffy cream colored head. aroma is orange peel and pine hops with some caramel malt. has a medium body with good spider web lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. very nice hops! has a good dry hop aftertaste and a lot of sediment floating around. a very nice ipa and the pine just sits on the tongue for a while. my first hoppin frog and i am impressed so far! it also has a somewhat creamy and oily mouth-feel as well. 68 ibus’?! beautiful!
Rune (1811), Tromsø, Norway Oct 3, 2008 Big bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Creamy, light yellowish foam covering a clear, amber body (except for a hazy last pour). Fairly hopped aroma followed but a delicate taste of succulent oranges with a touch of caramel and underlying sweet berries. Weak, rather abrupt, bitter ending (hotel room in Valby, 15.09.2008). ChristianScheffel (2250), Odense, Denmark Sep 27, 2008 Amber with a lasting white head. Aroma has grassy hops and mango. Dryish and bitter flavour with so much grassy hop flavour it gets cloying - and boring alobar (653), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 27, 2008 Cloudy copper color with a foamy white head. Hops and citrus aroma with some grass. Tropical citrus and hops one the tongue. A bit sweeter than many IPA’s. Well done. RCL (1075), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Sep 23, 2008 Light citrus hops. Does seem to lean more towards peaches and tropical fruits, maybe a little passion fruit. Nice clean hop finish. Good balance. Nice. Dedollewaitor (2167), Odense, Denmark Sep 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a white head & lacings. Very hoppy nose. Tropical fruity hops. Mango & peach. Very dry & grassy. Power bitter hopped. Good creamy & medium filling mouthfeel. Nice IPA!
