Mar 23, 2008 A cold pour produces a fuming tall froth that lingers forever. A rocky plume, dense snail tracks, and a thick lasting lace is DB’s trademark. The color is a pale caramel yellow and slightly hazed. Aromas of brisk chunky citrus peel hops and a mild malty sweetness. Full nectar w/ soft as cotton carbonation. It’s almost crispy on the palate despite it fullness. A brisk hopsy citrus rind component right upfront delivers a balanced malt body w/ salted grapefruit and bittersweet caramel. The finish is bittered well leaving a lingering asprin tingling sensation to ponder. This brew is very generous cold or warmed. DB leaves a mouthwatering thirst for more on the user creating an addiction. This stuff is amazing. I pick up some candyfruit as it warms.

Jul 13, 2007 [75 cl corked bottle] Hazy amber colour. Big frothy head. Fruity apricot-and-orange hop aroma. Flavour is all about hops; a bitter, hoppy flavour that lasts "forever". Dangerously drinkable; I finished that big bottle in no time then wished I had another one.
Lumpy (1527), Carrollton, Texas, USA
May 15, 2008 Bottle. Body-orange/yellow hazy, loose quarter inch off white head with moderate lacing. Nose-soft medium hops, light grapefruit/PNW hops 9amazingly hoppy), light white spices, smells like a cold, stale, clean refrigerator, light perfume. Taste-high CO2, chamomile, flower petals, rose water, clean Belgian yeast, very clean, perfect medium sweetness, light bitter on the backend. Beautifully done.

May 20, 2007 On draught at Copenhague beer festival 2007. Pours a beautifull golden coloured beer with a huge rocky head. Fruity citric and well hopped nose. Taste is exactly a follow up from the nose with citric fruits and hops, some hints of caramel as well. Very well balanced, a rather high alcohol Pilsner but very good indeed. Aftertaste is dry and bitter.

May 16, 2007 Københavnske Øldage 07. Draught. This Imperial pilsner has a beautiful, golden color and a nice, huge, creamy head. The aroma is wonderfully hopped and fruity with lots of citrus. The mouthfeel is oily and the flavour has loads of wonderful hops, fruit and citrus (mostly). The hops are dancing on a nice, mellow bed of caramel. Yummi, what a treat! 2109
