Bottle at home from Tanakaya. Orange blond colour with beige bubbly head. Aroma is grassy hops, strong citrus bitterness, bit of pepper, something floral there too, and maybe something herbal. Quite unusual smell. Can definitely get that hop burn in the background. Taste is lots of fruit. Orange, apricot, something else tropical and then it gets overwhelmed by the bitterness. Some boozy sweetness too. More of a build than a bomb, but in any case, pretty full on. Think this have given me a headache already, but I won’t hold it against the beer. Leaves behind a bit of a prickle in the throat. I like it, but probably couldn’t drink a second straight away.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2013 Draught at craft beer co, london. Hazy golden color, with some white head. Fruity aroma. Some sweet and bitter same time, excellent beer.

11.2 ounce bottle courtesy of Butters. Thanks! Pours a clear golden color with a thin creamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee malts, candied citrus, herbal and resin. The taste is bitter resin and herbal hops with a toffee malt finish. Medium bodied.

Orange peel nose, not strong. Clear amber, medium head. Nutty, peanut hull, whole orange bursts in. Finishes very bitter with orange peel. odd beer with IPA style hopping. Kind of a novelty.

Sampled at Dan’s after Top of the Hops tasting. Clear amber pour with good white head. how is this not an ipa? Very citrusy and older bitter hops. Sweet and with hints honey. Long lingering bitterness.

From Voldby, DK. Bottled, 190912.. Back label says High but Front label says Low??? Amber with white head. Aroma of grapefruit and spruce. Flavour with malt, spices, orange and fruit? Maby this is High....

In bottle at Craig’s. Pours a dark golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of pine, pineapple, caramel and alcohol. Similar flavours with mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Lingering caramel, pineapple and coconut. Nicely bitter with a dry finish.

bottle at home .. golden amber ... thin white head ... soft floral zezt nose ... light fizz ... vegative ... light grassy ... little oily ... not me

Peachy coloured body. The good bitterness, with complex hops and orange juicy citrus is up front and immediate. Malting pretty good too. Fuller mouthfeel. In your face like a double IPA. Very tasty, good drinkability for a high a.b.v.
