Hazy dark amber with off white head - hoppy aroma - good malt in the background with good hop bitternss that lasts for a long time - good

Flaske 0,5l fra bestillingsutvalget til Vinmonopolet. Gyldenbrun. Litt uklar. Høyt kremskum som varer veldig lenge. Nydelig appelsin / ferskenaroma. Avrundet smak med masse fruktnyanser. Toner ut i en markert fruktig bitterhet som varer. Og varer. Litt bunnfall. Sannelig dukker det ikke opp en tørr avslutning langt uti smaksbildet. KI=6

Draft @ Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity hoppy bitter piney grapefruit aroma. Fruity malty hoppy bitter grapefruit flavor. Has a fruity malty and very hoppy bitter finish with hints of grapefruit in the aftertaste.

Bottle at løkka brygghus. Remember this from MM so I’m happy to see this at a pub, and in an NØ bottle. Strong tasty malt with a dry hoppy finish. Too dark here too see the color but it looks good from what I can see. Kind of expensive (139NOK/0,5ltr), but worth a buy nice in a while.

Bottle @ BeerBiker/Scheffel’s 100 countires celebration. Pours hazy orange with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is hops. Peach and orange. Flavor is hoppy grapefruit and peach. Medium bodied. Dry hoppy end.

Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen, DK. Bottled, 031010. Amber with white head. Aroma of spices with malt. Flavor with some fruit and solic bitterness.

Bitter.

Out of the cask at Gourmet Haus in Redwood City. Pours a brilliant sunset orange with a slightly taupe head that is slightly rocky yet also cloud-like. Citrusy hops surprisingly jump off the nose with undertones of earth permeating - a lot of well balanced hops here. Taste predominates with malt backbone, the bitterness of the hops follows through the mid-to-late palate. The bold hop aroma shows itself more through bitterness than flavour. Taste is less balanced than the aroma let on. Mouthfeel is high alcohol and coating, with some chewy bread at the end.

A wellmade DIPA, not as bitter as you would think. Beautiful hop aromas, grass and sitrus as the dominating aromas, with a hint of herbs? It got a really smooth taste, like I said, not to bitter at all. Rich and long aftertast, dominated by hop aromas, but wellbalanced with fruitynes!
