Commercial Description:
Our version of the IPA beer style possesses a deep golden hue, rich malty flavor, a bold, complex, and enduring hop finish and is extremely full bodied. We dry hop this brew and use a combination of Fuggles and Chinook hop varieties resulting in an extremely enticing floral and spicy aroma as well as hop character. Great Western Two Row Pale Malt, De Wolf-Cosyns' Caravienne and Munich Malts are combined to achieve an initial specific gravity approaching 1.065.

Bottled. An unclear dark orange beer with small brown chunks of yeast under a fluffy lazing light orangey head. The aroma is aroma is very IPA-like with notes of pine needles. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of hops, pine needles, and oranges, leading to a dry bitter, grassy, and grapefruity finish.

(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

From bottle, no 8 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy orange and with a collapsing white head. Pineapple and grapefruit aroma, sweet and fruity citric. Dry hoppy and with slight liqourice note. Has a mild sweetness lingering in with the sweet and slight liqourice flavours. Ends with a mellow to dry bitterness. Has a continued sweetness following this.

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.

(12/15/07, 22oz bottle, thanks peregrinari) Lightly hazed light amber body topped by medium white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit/pine, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, sharp grapefruit/pine, light pineapple. Somewhat dry finish. Medium body, chewy, light acidity. (7/4/7/4/14)

(8/13/02) Light copper body that pours with a beautiful head. Smell is citric hops, but also pretty sweet malt. Flavor is loaded with hops and malt, some spiciness to boot. Like many of the Moylan beers, it subscribes to the "more is better" mentality, resulting in a beer that’s not bad, but simply tries to do too much. (6/5/6/3/13)
