Commercial Description:
Norge og Sørlandet har siden 1864 hatt innflytelse på brygging i Japan. http://www.kirin.co.jp/daigaku/ o japan/william copland/index.html. Vi på Nøgne Ø ønsket å markere dette ved å invitere bryggermester Toshi Ishii fra Karuizawa, Nagano til å brygge sammen med oss. Resultatet ser du her: en Dobbel IPA.

A guest brew by Toshi Ishii from Yo-Ho Brewing, 100 IBU.

Similar in style to Hair of the Dog. Complex flavors. Citrus and pine hops swirl around. Not a west coast IPA by any means. More a cross of a pale and a barleywine.

bottle poured a brown amber in color with a thick off white head that kept a nice layer for a while. aroma has resiny bitter side hops, chewy caramel, hearty with sweet alcohol. mouth feel is medium light with low side carbonation. flavor has a nice initial bitterness, resins, plenty of caramel chewiness, higher side sweetness, and a bit of alcohol. finish lingers on for a while with hop resins. I like the texture of this one and the hops are intense but not all that the beer has to offer either.

Dark and cloudy butterscotch color with a head so thick it fills more than half the glass. Aroma is fruity orange, but a bit funkier and spicier than I am used to. Some dried fruit aroma in there as well. Flavor is grapefruit and lots of lime. Astringent finish. Very spicy in the aftertaste. This is a very unusual double IPA, but I enjoy the uniqueness.

Thanks for this tasty treat Jon. Amarillo driven tangerine double IPA that is just great hops, and not a monster. Thick lace, orange body with soapy white head. The hop aroma is attractive and there. Average mouthfeel.

pours brownish/orange, very thick lasting off white head. Aroma is malty, definite interesting twist with the fresh hops/citrus, sweetness, and caramel notes.Flavor, floral hops adding a slight citrus/lemon palate. Thick mouthfeel, some floating yeast, caramel malts with a sweet sugary palate. Literally blown away by the Japanese twist using the hops for this one. Smooth, drinks easy, the right amount of hops and balance with the malts.

In short: A heavily caramelized yeasty IIPA with a resinous and fruity hopping. Too rich to be refreshing but very good for what it is.
How: Bottle 500ml. Drank fresh (two months ago) a few days after purchase
The look: Cloudy amber body topped by a medium beige head
In long: The highly aromatic nose is floral, tangy, citrusy and pine-cone needles. Big body for the style. A lot of caramel, very juicy and rather yeasty. Some hard candies. Body is full, fluffy and creamy, maybe even a little too rich and creamy for the style. This is a nourishing IPA to say the least. Hops add flavours of citrus and tangerines with strong resinous notes. Stick resinous finish. Very rich and not refreshing. I can love an IIPA that is more nourishing than refreshing but this one might be pushing this concept a little too far. Could have been a little more crisp. Actually, could have hardly been any less crisp. With its Japanese and Norwegian label I had no idea what beer/style it was when I bought my bottle. It’s all Chinese to me.
