Bottle. Deep red clear with a thin white head that leaves nice lacings on the glass. Smells of orange peel, grapefruits, and other sweet fruits, some grass too. Taste has good sweetness and much citrus, grapefruit and grass. Feel is oily with some pricky carbonation. Nice! Finish is complex bitter with some very interesting hop combinations. A very good IIPA

On tap. Masterpiece. Aromas of caramel, butterscotch, grass, and vanilla. Taste has a sweet start, with bitterness taking over for a long finish. Palate is creamy, and full bodied. Dark brown, with a frothy head.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2011 Alla spina @ Brasserie 4:20 (Roma) - Spettacolare Imperial IPA in forma fantastica! Bellissimo colore ambrato limpido, aroma forte di caramello, luppolo e malto, in bocca perfettamente bilanciata, inaspettatamente dolce, mielosa e caramellata, quindi luppolata. I 10° letteralmente spariscono. Una grandissima birra! Ai livelli della tanto celebrata Imperial Stout. Grande birrificio!!!!

Pours a deep redish amber. on the nose I got resin, pine, raw hops, sour fruits and some sweetness. In the taste I got a more defined malt profile along with some caramel, citrus and other tropical fruits (mango, passionfruit, peach). A big IPA with a full body and a long duration.

05.02.2011. 0,5l Bottle. Batch # 500. Brown colour with off-white head. Unclear and there is some kind of residue in the beer. When opening the bottle I can smell great hops and aromatic bitterness. Aroma is rich malty with sweetness and bitterness. Great taste, lots of flavours. The more I drink the better it gets. This is really a good quality beer!!

Hazy dark amber with a beige head. Aroma is sweet malty, caramel and hoppy, citrus and pine. Flavor is rather sweet and very bitter. The finish is bitter, dry and light alcoholic. Too sweet. 020211

Tasted 2011-02-01. Pours dense, dark brown with creamy, white head. Hoppy aroma. Slightly acidic taste. Bitter finish. Very heavy - both on the head and in the stomach. Tasty, but I’ve had better.

Bottle… Tampa “Farewell to Sebletitje” Tasting… Cloudy amber ale with a mid-sized, foamy, khaki head. The aroma is bursting-at-the-seams with musky hops and leather - only a hint of toffee. Full-bodied with a buttery mouthfeel and mellow carbonation. The flavor is of bitter lupulin, but has a hearty caramel and toffee foundation. Lengthy, violently bitter finish. Bottle courtesy of Plovmand!

Tasted at the big “SeaBass has got to go” tasting courtesy of hopscotch. Pours sort of murky amber with light tan head. The aroma pine and grapefruit and then spicy and a bit on the sour citrus side. The taste is a mix of pine and grapefruit flavor hops and moving more and more bitter to midway. Then into the finish as the hops peak in pleasing bitterness a layer of sweet maltiness comes to the surface. Solid IPA. Pretty good IIPA too.

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2012 Bottle, Vinmonopolet. Lovely aroma. Very bitter, but it’s still complex. Nice warmth from the alcohol. The best double IPA from Norway, ever.
