#8 [Blind tasting session @ Papsoe 30-11-2007] Huge thick off-white head that mostly lasted. Excellent lacework. Muddy golden color. Pine, grapefruit, citrus, elderflower. Fruit, caramel and light grain like notes over the palate with heavy floral bitterness. Full bodied with a dry texture and an average carbonation. Moderated bitter flavor with light sweetness. Dry bitter floral finish. My guess is an IPA.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - DEC 3, 2007
UPDATED: FEB 15, 2009 2009-02-04, draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 8-5-8-4-16=41 Hazy golden color; big fluffy head; nice perlage. Very intense aroma of citrusy hops, very fruity, grapefruit, sweet; later, some crispy cookies and hop flowers too. Medium body strength, the malt and caramel flavor are almost completely overwhelmed by the fat hopping, very resiny and lightly fruity. The resins agressiveness is too high in the end. Crazy lack of balance, but I still love hops...
2007-11-30, Papsø’s Blind Tasting, 8-4-7-4-15=38 Cloudy golden color; big head. Very nice hoppy aroma, fruity and flowery. Medium body, not thick but nevertheless quite sweet, strong and aromatic hopping. The only defaut is a too high bitterness and astringency at the end: the hops have been used to death. Very good.

(Bottle 65 cl) Hazy, deep golden with a lively, off-white head leaving some lacework. Sweetish aroma of citrus and pine. Medium body with a very solid base of sweet, pale malts and then these incredibly fresh notes of citrus and peach. The finish is lightly bitter. A very fresh IPA. 301107
