Bottle. A dense, beige head sits on top of a more or less clear, golden body. Piney, peachy nose with resins and orange peel. Not much room left for the maltyness. A bit catpee like in the mouth, full-bodied and smooth, a nice malty sweetness blending in and also a fine bitterness. The latter especially in the end. A tasteful and pleasant IPA, although a bit on the cat pee side. Could easily drink a few of this. 111105

De barril. Hazy dark amber colour. Aroma of malt, frutishy hops, beef and onion, strange. Good mouthfeel. Flavour of mat and caramel with citrus hops, fruitish. Strange....

Tap @ Ørsted Ølbar, Cph.
Light muddy dark red amber whit a small, creamy, white film head. Aroma has red apples, overripe oranges, a whiff of pear wine gums, light citrus and a bit of peach. Medium carbonation, fine dry and light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is dry, malty caramel as base, soft hoppiness with the same citrusy cherry notes with all the sweeter hops characters surrounding it. Apples again. Good lingering dryness in the finish, mild bitterness. Good, but never a favourite.

Light haze on this darkish amber beer. Big fluffy white head. The head has a startling garlic flavour! Palate is smooth, a little soft and slightly dry. Creamy malt base - mild. The Apollo follows the head with more garlic and just a whisper of citrus. Finishes semi dry. Never had such a garlic led apollo beer!

tap at mikkelæer bar clear orange, smooth offwhite head. Sweet hoppy aroma. Flavor is malty, mild hoppy balance, hops are pretty nice flowery and herbal, mild and matches the base brew well. Far from a hop bomb though

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Light malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter flavor. Long heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate. Wonderfull IPA.

Bottled. Amber coloured. Unclear. Dense beige head. ARoma of grape, citrus, some caramel, tropical fruits, flowers and spice. Flavour as well full of tropical fruits, sweetness, citrus and light caramel. Medium to full bodied. Has a dry and grapy bitterness in the end.
