COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Earlier batches brewed by Mikkeller at Ørbæk Bryggeri, Ørbæk, Denmark.
A love of American microbrews is the inspiration behind this IPA, brewed with generous amounts of aromatic, American hops, which provide the significant freshness and bitterness with lots of citrus notes. The taste sensations are nicely balanced by the sweetness from the caramel malt.
Ingredients : Water, malt (pilsner, munich and caramunich), flaked oats, hops (chinook, cascade and amarillo) and ale yeast.

Smagt til " Launch-party" i Ølbutikken 5. maj-06. Husker ikke helt hvordan det smagte..... Smagte igen fadversionen i noget mere ædru tilstand. Lækker humlet efter min smag. God sommerbælleøl hvis humle er sagen..............

mds (2118) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 31, 2006
Draught. Hazy orange-brown with a white creamy head. Orange rind is present along with creamy bread malt. Very assertive hops - pure concentrated oranges and yet has plenty of malt backing. I could drink a few of these. Sampled at the Københavnske Øldage 2006 on May 20, 2006.

Clean IPA nose, good balance of hops, alcohol and malt. Good body, neat hoppy character. Citric-fruity. Good, clean bitter finish.

NosirIwont (1721) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - MAY 30, 2006
Bottle. Pours a beautiful hazy orange/red/brown with a big off-white/beige head. Strong sweetish and bitter hoppy aroma with a malty background. Wellbalanced bitter hoppy and sweetish malty flavour. Long bitter finish with slight notes of licorice. Wonderful palate; smooth and soft and fills out every part of the mouth. A great beer! 31-05-06.

Hansen (5447) - Assentoft, DENMARK - MAY 28, 2006
Very, very hopped, lots of hop and bitterness in the aroma and flavor. Perhaps too much hops and bitterness, though the malt tryes to keep up with the bitterness. Aroma nice and somehow handbrewed.

thx to beerkonig. FG : 1022. Looking at the alcohol percentage and the final gravity, I knew this one would be very interesting even before I drank it. Amazing brew that is. Cloudy amber with a nice head with a fantastic lacing. Sweet aromas of honey, wood and fruits. High bodied, complex, mild honey taste. mild sweet palate with lasting hoppy aftertaste. A beer perfectly in balance. A wow beer I should say.

lachesis (757) - St Idesbald, BELGIUM - MAY 26, 2006
Nice hazy amber colored beer with a deep orange to slight reddisch color. Nice longlasting off white head leaving a fine and attactive lacing. Aroma is complex, woody, hop bitter of coures and has complex touches of nutmegg, lilly’s, flowers, forrest soil, honey, maple sirup some pepper, figgs and white roses. The taste is quit full, it has a nice well integrated sweetness with a honeyed and maple sirup like smoothness. But the beer is not really sweet. In the afthertaste, the spicey accents are comming up. There are hints of nutmegg, cloves, pepper and vanilla. All this works wonderwell with the attactive bite of the hop bittering. The balance is very good and the beer has a great refreshing bitterness of fine hops in the end.

duff (5484) - Lund, SWEDEN - MAY 26, 2006
UPDATED: DEC 5, 2006 Bottle. Hazy orange in colour.Lots of bitter hopleaf flavours. aromatic nose, intense American hops. Mouthfeel is quite bitter and lightly acidic, touches of caramelly malt, but this is all about the hops, piney, citric, leafy, fruity American hops.
