3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Holmen1 (1187) - NORWAY - JUN 11, 2013
Flaske fra Kihoskh: blant de mange stilarter amerikanske bryggere eksellerer i, er ipa og apa sentrale. Denne apekatten er snadder, og jeg slutter meg til måteholdsfolket ønske (fra slutten av 1800-tallet) om å bruke opplysningens makt til å vende folket bort fra dårlige drikkevaner. Frem for det gode øl!

Bottle at home, this wasn’t a great beer in my opinion, forgot to make notes, but this beer wasn’t that special, even though the shop owner highly recommended it... last time i will listen to shop owners.

I guess this is OK for the style - but I really don’t like the English IPAs which just means less floral and aromatic hops.

ersma: ein 200-kg-affe ist wohl ein ausgewachsener gorilla. was will uns die brauerei damit sagen? und was mit dem merkwürdigen etikett?
orange-bernsteinfarben, leicht trübe. der schaum könnte stabiler sein.
der geruch ist fruchtig nach überreifen beeren, dazu kräuternoten und etwas zitrus.
der antrunk ist bitter, fruchtig, zitrusartig und kräuterig. süßliche aromen von blumenwiese im hintergrund. die mitte wird noch bitterer, nasses stroh und kräuternoten und etwas zitrus sowie beeren. der abgang ist hopfenbetont, bitter, dahinter malzsüße und etwas karamell.
die flasche ist ansehnlich.
fazit: der reklametext liest sich wesentlich besser als das bier schmeckt. trinklbar, aber recht charakterlos.

Too much of a caramel finish for me. Did not know it was an English IPA. I like a beer with more of a hoppy finish and aroma.
