4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 VTHopHead (1331) - Barre, USA - FEB 21, 2010
Bottle/20.3 - Poured a quite dark orangish amber in color with a light tan head that hung in to produced some very nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is very strong of pine resin hopiness with just a hint of malty sweetness. Flavor is very hoppy, but actually quite muted by a significant amount of malt. Very well balanced. Still plenty of pine resin flavor with just a hint of citrus. Some malty sweetness at the very end. Finish is lingering, bitter and hoppy. Alcohol not apparent at all. Really good...

Bottle, shared @ Freakin’ Frog. Cloudy medium amber brown without much of a head. A heavily malty IPA, very bready and hearty, leathery dryness, with a bitter tannic hop structure. Not for everyone, but Iiked it.

Thisp oured a murky dark amber/red colorwith a beige head. Aroma was caramel, toffe and bittering stale hops. Flavor was vert sweet and malt, much more like a barleywine than a double IPA, hops are fading and are almost lost, but overall tastey stuff.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUL 22, 2011
Mild hopfiger Geruch, wenig süß, weitestgehend alleinstehend. Deutlich hopfiger ANtrunk, etwas scharf, natürlich. Hopfig bleibend, die Note dünnt allerdings mit der Zeit etwas aus und hinterlässt teilweise eine Leere. Sehr leicht malzig was sich nicht gut einbringt, angenehmer aber sehr separierter Hopfen. Aromatisch, dennoch bleibt das Bier unter seinen Möglichkeiten. Andere Geschmacksnuancen als "hopfig" wären hier wilkommen.
Test vom 29.9.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,11,11,12,10,11 - 11,00
