Bov (4659), Bienne, Switzerland Apr 9, 2007 courtesy of Per Samuelsson - slightly amber colour and a little foam; huge hoppy aroma showing notes of apricot and cream; full-bodied, lively and soft palate, some sweetness before a powerful bitterness; very long hoppy, fruity finish - a hop bomb which manages to be balanced; what a beer ! madsberg (4373), Bangalore, India Aug 14, 2005 Bottled @ RBESG2005: After drinking Banks Legends this was like going to heaven. Dark golden coloured. Light unclear. Beige head. Fruits, herbs, spices, some citric notes in the aroma. Flavour is very hoppy. Herbs, sweetness, some alcoholnotes, spices and fruits comes to mind while drinking this beer. Full bodied and pretty well balanced. Is very bitter with a touch of sweetness in the end. Really nice one. Magic_dave6 (4012), London, Greater London, England Aug 30, 2006 Aroma gives peachy, hoppy, candy sugar. Taste is similar balanced more than expected. A seriously good beer, however not an iipa. gnoff (2831), Göteborg, Sweden Apr 15, 2006 Draught at Bishops Arms (söder) in Stockholm, Sweden. November 2005. Double IPA with OG 1-081 and ABV 7.8%. My first ever experience of this brewery, though I’ve tried lots more since. Nice color, nice hoppy scent and taste. No real hint of the strong alcohol part from the warming feeling. Really well made and balanced. Marsiblursi (1432), Gö te la borrrrg, Sweden May 28, 2006 Updated: Feb 8, 2007(Bottle, Haket - Göteborg, may 2006. 8,5%)
Big, white head. Slowley decreasing. Honey-orange-amber-coloured.
Aroma of sweet exotic fruitjuice. Peach and mandarin. Citrusy, bitter and dry in the nose. Tiny hints of candybanana with honey-tones.
Flavour of big grapefruitish bitterness. Pineapple, orange and apricots. Sweetish, rasiny and a bit oily .Good body.
Swedens only attempt for a doubble IPA, hang loose.
