Ungstrup (14760), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 4, 2007 (hand?) Bottled. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and malty with a lovely fresh grapefruit note. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit - especially grapefruit - leading to a good bitter finish. Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 12, 2007 (On tap - Toronado) Clear, pale amber golden with a small, white head. Very fresh piney aroma. Medium body with a dry malt base and an extremely dry hopping - a bit too dry for me. But a very lovely and complex hop structure. Astringent bitterness in the finish. 290307 omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 18, 2004 Sampled draught at O’Briens, San Diego.
Bronze colour, small creamy head. Grapefruty hop aroma. Rich, boldly malty and salty with fairly soft mouthfeel. Rude, salty, very bitter finish. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 6, 2008 From tap at OBrians. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a creamy and lacing white head. Dense fruity hops and smooth caramel malt showing through. Extremely smooth mix of caramel and dense hoppy oily flavours, yet in no way overempowering. Smooth peachy and light fruity hops finish with a little persisting caramel malt presence. oh6gdx (8802), Vasa, Finland Apr 12, 2009 Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is lots of fruity hops, some wood, alcohol and also mild herbal notes. Flavour is hops (peachy, tropical fruity and grassy bittery), with also some alcohol and mildly caramelly notes. joergen (8430), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 25, 2006 Bottle.

Oakes (8072), gone rambling, Vietnam Oct 8, 2005 Updated: Aug 1, 2006Slightly hazy gold colour. The hop aroma is bright and clean, all citrus and florals. Fresh bread provides the backbone of the beer, with tropical fruit, citrus and floral hop notes. The bitterness is assertive - almost too resiny but nice. A bit of an envelope pusher in the way it approachs the West Coast IPA theme, this is a well-constructed beer just inside the boundaries of reason.
