Mostly clear yellow/orange with a bit of white head. Aroma is fantastic with sweet, juicy citrus. Taste is the same... and clean, with some pine and citrus in the finish. Alcohol is evident as it warms, but well hidden overall with good balance and drinkability $2/12oz

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of grapefruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and grapefruit, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Smells of hops. Tastes like an IPA. A little on the thin side, but very smooth for 8.2%

04-JUL-2010, bottle @home, from "Ølbutikken". Very light in color for an IIPA. Golden with nice lasting white head. Grape fruit nose. Very fresh, only a slight malty sweetness, but overall a very hoppy IPA. I still prefer a more malty background, but in the danish summerheat this goes down easy:)

I enjoyed this double a lot. It was incredible well balanced and not too overpowering to the palate. Granted, I like to be pulverized sometimes, but others it’s nice to relax a little. Big full nose of hops followed by strong hop palate complemented with a subtle sweetness from the malt that mellows the overall flavor. Finish is clean and crisp and refreshing, more so than most beers this big.

A double IPA ... one of my favorite styles. Clear gold, small white head. Sweet nose of candy sugar, light roasted malts, and citrusy American hops. Taste of light malts, American hops, but with a dry finish. Not my favorite example of my favorite style, but an easy beer to like.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with with a medium head. Aromas of of pine, citrus and caramel. Citrus hop flavor with a nice malt backbone. Very good and drinkable, but slightly bland for a double IPA.

12oz bottle. Clear light amber body topped by small off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange, tangerine, light grapefruit. Taste is moderately sweet, orange/grapefruit, light seltzer. Medium body, light resin.

Nice clean grassy hop aroma. Pours a clear orange, with a dusting of white head. Nice full and juicy hop flavor, clean on the palate, with a nice long bitter finish. Quite a tasty beer, and one I’ll be getting some more of.

Bottle at Yespr - Thanks. Clear amber - white head. Nice hoppy, piney, resin, caramel, light sweetness, citrus, abricot, grapes, toasted, light berries. Very nice and pleasant.
