Oct 14, 2007 Very fine American IPA with the trademark generous amounts of hops providing a great aroma with grass and grapes. Flavour is very fruity ending in a long and dry bitter finish (grapes, pines). Classic stuff!

Oct 13, 2007 Bomber. average frothy off-white head (fully dissapated after a min or two). clear amber body. aromas of hops (citrus and pine), and malts (light caramel). flavor is moderately bitter with a light sweetness that intermingles throughout. long sticky finish. dry textured. very impressive smoothness. heck of an ipa actually almost stong enough to be an imp ipa.

Oct 11, 2007 Bottle from Olbutikken, Copenhagen.
Pours with a nice if somewhat conventional cascade and amarillo nose, orange peel and pine, just a bit of must. It’
s very very dry, in a Stone ruinition vein. Lots of grapefruit pith and the malts have a nice caramel tone. But the beer tastes and feels 9% instead of the 7 at which it is listed. The flavors are intense, especially in the hop oils that linger on the tongue, you feel the alcohol thick and hot, there’s a chemical aspect to the overall flavor thatI find offputting. Certainly a success at brewing a big west-coast style dry IPA --- and yet I simply don’t see this one as a beer I’d want to drink readily. Of course given distribution, it isn’t one that I could have regularly even if I wanted to.

Oct 8, 2007 Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a thick, frothy offwhite head. Aroma of pine needles with green hops. Solid flavor of spicy, piney and green hops with a bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation.

Oct 7, 2007 500ml from Sam’s, Durham. A very fine tribute beer, full and rich body, with a lovely golden hue and lustrous head. The hops are floral and not too aggressive, with some generous malting in the backing. Maybe not the most distinctive IPA out there, but very fine and easy drinking.

Oct 7, 2007 Great, great beer. Bottled at Olbarren. A little pricey though. Definitley a beer for hop lovers. True IPA with lots of flavor, complex to decribe as I am new to this.
Well worth the DKK 70. If you love IPA’s, this is your beer.

Oct 4, 2007 Copper color with a medium head. Nice citrusy and pine aroma. Dry malt taste. Definitely hoppy, but not screaming with hops and certainly a bit on the mild side for bitterness. More hop taste than punishing alpha acid. Some citrus on the finish.
