UPDATED: DEC 9, 2012 Botttle to Tulip.One of the finest IPA from Sweden. Pours a "light copper" almost orange colour. Two finger head long lasting head.Aroma is strong floral hops with orange. Carbonation is medium. Taste of hops with quite strong bitterness. Body is medium. Long aftertaste. Nice.

Kanske den bästa dubbel IPA Sverige lyckats få fram. Givetvis typiska Oppigårds smaken framträdande med fin blommig fruktig doft. Smsken mycket grape å rejäl fin beska. Mer Oppigård tack.

Kan inte får nog. Den bästa svenska DIPA:n. Mycket citrus och passionsfrukt. Frisk, humlig och syrlig. Välbalanserd med bra beska. Fantastisk.

33cl Bottle via trade with SaintMatty, on the train to Roadburn. Thanks Matt! Slightly hazy orange colour, white head. Aroma is very sweet, oranges, apricot, peach, citrus hops. Flavour is sweet, malty, oranges, apricots, tropical fruits, citrus bitter finish. Fullbodied. Really good and different DIPA.

courtesy of Per - cloudy dark orange beer with a little white foam left; nice lace; strong hoppy aroma with notes of peaches, pine needles and quince; slightly oily and full-bodied; robust and quite dry bitterness, long fruity and bitter hoppy finish - very tasty

Big thanks to tkrjukoff for this one as a bonus. Cheers, Timo! Pours a hazy, opaque orange with a white head. Nose is orange flesh, honey, apricot, and plenty of caramel. Flavor is similar- citrus all over- apricot, honey, grapefruit, orange, and some slight alcohol. Very enjoyable DIPA, full-bodied overall with lingering grapefruit into the finish.

[Thanks to omhper]. 33cl bottle Orangish colour with a frothy, nice, creamy, good lacing and perfect lasting head. Aroma is strong floral hops with orange hints. Flavour has orange peel notes with a strong bittery taste from the beginning to the end with a appropiate duration. The aftertaste is dominated by a strong bitterness. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium.

Bottle 33cl. When I first tried this one (Batch nr1) I thought to myself - "I’ve got to buy more bottles of this one!". This is propably the best beer I drank all year 2011! Filled with Hops, Citrus and pleny of Passion(fruit). This is truly an Once in a lifetime experience. Rumours claims that Oppigårds ar planning a DIPA of their own for 2012, in the same spirit as Drakens.

Last bottle from batch I got hold on this fall. Hazy orange. Fruity, lots of hops, full body. A great beer, I hope it will come back.

Bottle! Thanx Dunbar! Clear red colur, with a nice creamy head. Aroma is dominated of a BOMB! of fruits, flowers and citrus, and some sugar and honey. Flavor had a nice mouth feeling of fruits, flowers and citrus, mixed with honey,sugar and maltynes, nice long fruity fninsh. Weel done!!!!
