Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours clear amber with a big, creamy, off-white head. Heavy aroma with passion fruit and plant sap. Some apricot as well. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is heavily bitter; the hops are very fruity. Notes of apricot, passion fruit, lemons, oranges. An okay malty base behind it. Long, bitter aftertaste. Very nice, but i prefer the other versions slightly over this one.

From Voldby, DK. Bottled, 070409. Amber with white head. Aroma of passion fruit. Flavor is sweet fruit and a solid bitterness.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a cloudy orange color. Aroma is plenty of hops and some exotic fruits. Maybe some apricot? Anyway... Taste is tropical fruit,citrus,caramell and some hopbitterness. The finish is at first sweet but ends bitter.

On tap @ Ørsted. Pours a clear amber with a diminishing head. Smells hoppy ans slightly earthy. Sweet with some dryness. Lots of exotic fruits. Pineapple and passion fruits. Medium carbonation. Medium body. Spicy hints. Dry finish. Very much like a Marlborough Sounds Sauvingnon Blanc. I’m just wondering why they aren’t making any beers like this in NZ. I’m guessing the NZ malts aren’t as good as European.

Bottle. Hazy orange body with a big creamy off-white head. Lovely aroma of this hop that is all new to me. Peach, passion fruit, melon, citrus and mango. Actually the same notes you find in the perfect New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc white wine. Its all backed up by a good malty back bone. The flavour is quite bitter but also very fruity like the nose. Its medium bodied to the creamy side. Bit too bitter on the finish to my likings but overall this is a brilliant IPA.

bottle. Huge bubbly off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Light cloudy amber color. Perfume, grapefruit, fruit, rubber, citrus. Perfume, rubber, citrus, fruit, spice. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light dry texture. Moderated bitter and sweet flavor. Perfume lingering finish.

Amber with a lasting white head. Amazingly complex and unusual hop aroma. There are flowers, citrus, peach and blackcurrant and a bit of chardonnay. Sweetish hoppy flavour with notes of blackcurrant, grass and citrus. Full bodied. I hope there’s a single hop IIPA on the way!

Draught. Hazy red orange colour with a nice white head. Mango aroma with ripe fruits and citrus. Good mouthfeel. Not as bitter as I suspected, pleasantly bitter fruity hoppiness with some sweetness, pine, citrus and grape fruits. Nice fruity IPA.

From tap at Lord Nelson. Pours cloudy deep orange with a small off-white head. Sweet and grape fruit flavoured, sweet and fruity with a light juice like note. Sweet ad bittered flavoured. Light spice note on back of the tongue with a distinct sweet grape flavour initially. Dry and bitter finish with spiced and leathery lasting impression.

Bottle.Hazy reddish colour with small off-white head.Aroma is sweet of abricot and wingums,sweet and unbalanced mouthfeels,not the type of IPA ilike never gonna buy this beer again sorry.
