Ungstrup (11378), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 18, 2007 Have had it both draft and bottled, draft=3.2, bottled= 3.6. A hazy amber beer with a huge lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops giving it notes of grass and grapefruit on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet and again very hoppy wigh notes of grass, straw, grapefruit, and oranges, as well as light notes of spices and alcohol, leading to a dry and very bitter finish. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 28, 2007 Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear amber, minimal head. Salty grapefruit aroma. Crisp and very dry, freshly hoppy with clean mouthfeel and slim body. Salty and hoppy with long bitter finish. Typical Sierr Nevada-style with it’s very clean flavour profile. Papsoe (10386), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 19, 2007 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Fresh, citrusy nose. Medium body, lightly sweet malts and again lovely citrus and peach notes before the dry-as-a-bone finish with some bitterness. An IPA right up my alley. 171107 Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 24, 2007 Updated: Sep 25, 2008Bright golden-amber. Cascade aroma - wood - with earthy, slightly brownsugary malt. Straightforward woody hop notes, hints of breadcrust and caramel. Moderate bitterness. UPDATE: I have found the 2008 edition a little more bitter and a little brighter, and therefore updated the score from a 3.3 to 3.6 yespr (6889), Copenhagen O, Denmark Apr 17, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange. Semi lasting white head. Aroma is pine wood dry hops. Semi sweet flavour and dry pine wood hops flavour. Light sweet note intermixing this.
