Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Copenhagen V, Denmark

Copper colored with large with head. Strong hop aroma with citrus, grapefruit, and flowery notes. Grapefruity and earthy flavor with some malts present. Bitter with a dry finish. Great stuff.

16.9oz bottle from the World of Beers bottleshop in clearwater. hazy orange pour with a big white head that sticks around a while. mainly a citrus hop aroma with just a hint of flower and honey. clean crisp bitter hop profile highlighted by tastes of grapefruit, biscuits, caramel. chewy medium texture. excellent balance. great stuff. K-9

Pours orange / light bronze with a beige soapy head. The aroma has grapefruit, pine, green onions and musty malt. Medium body that is quite resiny with a moderate amount of sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with creamy caramel malt, earthy / piny hops, sour grapefruit and lots of sticky resin. The finish has a dry hoppiness than lingers for a lot time. A very nice IPA, I just wish it was priced so I could get it more often.

lots of head and lacing. sweetness and a round bitterness makes for a euro-version of an american ipa or double. Good, but not great.

Bottle from Cave Direct (Beer merchants), many thanks for tipping me off about these beers Phil L, cheers mate Corking IPA really lovely, had this last week. Good punchy hoppy nose some pine, some floral but plenty there. Nice bittersweet taste, clean fresh but very hoppy, nice citrussy flavours in particluar I get some nice sweet tangerine, good tanginess, a very nice beer.

Bottle, floral hops notes, light malt aromas. Taste is slightly bitter, pine and some citrus, and cereal grains. A bit waxy. Decent mouthfeel not bad at all quite enjoyable but still not as complex or robust as other IPAs.

This IPA pours a copper gold color from a 50cl bottle. Medium sized white foamy head, with nice lacing and good retention. The aroma is floral, grapefruity and a touch of caramel malts. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are grapefruity and floral. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Crisp and clean. A nice IPA without being over the top or a huge flavored IPA. This would be a nice everyday drinking IPA. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
