Soenderskov (28), Dragør, Denmark May 21, 2008 This beer is undrinkable, there are no harmoni between the hops and malt. The periment is funny, and is was fun to try, but thats all to say about that. MIBRomeo (1845), Wisconsin, USA May 18, 2008 The hoppies brew ever... per Urbain at Struisse. Very 1 dimensional... not that it should be a surprise, comes off very astringent and almost acidic.. has some sweetness but lacks balance. sfh_odense (79), Odense NØ, Denmark Apr 17, 2008 Tap. Amber with white head. Aroma is hops with notes of hops and after that some more hops. Taste is very hoppy and very bitter. Funny experiment. Storm (2677), Amager, Denmark Nov 18, 2007 Draught at Copenhagen Beerfestival 2007. Hazy amber colour with a very nice hoppy aroma. Very very hoppy and bitter flavour, a little bit to much sharp bitter nad hops flavour, the flavour also have some caramel, but need some balance. A very interresting beer. Rastacouere (5202), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Nov 15, 2007 Considering the style, Scores ranging from 1 to 5, 5 being the most intense

Comments: Precisely what it tries to be: the hoppiest beer I’ve ever tried. Extremely harsh and like licking a hop sack, leafy, resinous, bitter and astringent, but someone had to do it!
