Bottle at Springslickers fish fry. Pours hazy amber with a pale yellow head. Aroma of hops, lemon, and some Belgian funk. Homebrew like mouthfeel. Flavor of toffee and clove countered by some bitterness that is a cross between citrus rind and dried leafy herbs. Has some Triple characteristics as well. Finish is dry and grassy with notes of celery and hop resin, and some slight acidity as well.

Draught at københavnske øldage 07. Golden / orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, hop. Flavour is hop, fruit, malt, sweet. Nice hoppy beer.

Muddy yellow colour with small head.Aroma is strong and fruity feels bitter with note of malt and flower.

Bottle courtesy of Hopscotch. Pours cloudy amber orange with minimal off white head. Big hoppy aroma. Flavor is mostly grapefruit and citrus hops with some sweetness. Very bitter and not in a good way. Medium body with average carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. I can’t seem to find a European DIPA that really makes me say WOW!

Golden colour, and a bit unclear. White head, mostly lasting. Aroma is kind of sweet, not heavy hoppy as expected for a triple IPA. Flavor starts sweet and finish bitter. Overall its a bit too sweet.

Deep orange color, small off-white head. Nice hoppy nose. Medium-bodied. You can’t guess style wrong: flowery hoppy and bitter, same time balanced IPA. There is some honey sweetness. Ok.

Bottle. High and lasting white fluffy head. Hazy thick looking orange body. Powerful fruity aroma of oranges and apples with addition of a good deal of hops but no sign of the alcohol. Surprisingly mild and sweet and yet hoppy flavor with low carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste.

Pours cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma is hoppy, flower, pine, grass and a hint of citrus. Flavour is like the aroma and also a light caramel sweetness.
