COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
English: The thing about First Frontier is the hops. Easy… This is an IPA “the American way”, no sticky-sweet malt profile, just the real deal potent and aromatic hops. The result is a refreshingly dry, fresh and bitter IPA, heavily dryhopped with the three American hop varieties warrior, simcoe and centennial, dealing a punch of citrus, peach and grapefruit from the deepest of our hearts directly to ya face. Just added a bit of caramel malt; merely to harness and balance the alcohol. ”We all got pieces of crazy in us, some bigger pieces than other”

Danish: Udgangspunktet for First Frontier er at skabe en IPA ”the american way”, uden en kvalm sød maltprofil, der fjerner fokus fra det IPA egentlig handler om, nemlig potent og aromatisk humle. Resultatet er en dejlig tør, frisk og bitter IPA, der er hårdt tørhumlet med de tre amerikanske humlesorter Warrior, Simcoe og Centennial, som giver noter af citrus, fersken og grapefrugt. Tilføjet er en smule karamel malt, der blot er tilstede for at tøjle og afbalancere alkoholen, der befinder sig på 7,1%. ”We all got pieces of crazy in us, some bigger pieces than other”
Ingredienser: Vand, Malt, Havre, Humle (Warrior, Simcoe, Centennial), gær.

Draught at The Rover, Göteborg, on February 18, 2011
Hazy golden color, fluffy lasting off-white head. Hoppy, fruity, citurs, bitter, sweet taste. Medium to moussy mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Fairly high after bitterness that lingers. Sweet, herbal, citrus, hoppy scent. Frsh, but could have a less bitter biter in the aftertaste.

NosirIwont (1721) - Aalborg Vestby, DENMARK - FEB 19, 2011
Bottle. Pours a hazy/murky straw yellow/light amber with a big off-white head. Good lacing. Aroma is tart, yet still smooth and soft, citrus candy. Almost grape fruit, but not quite. Flavour is more citrus candy hops, with a tart note; much like the aroma, but although it’s still pretty good here, it doesn’t work quite as well as the aroma. Malt in the background and notes of grape fruit. Finish is sweet and tart citrus with a lingering bitterness and grassy notes. Overall good aroma and flavour, but there’s something missing to match the overall score with the individual ones. 19.02.11.

Bottle shared with Mes&Sim, Leighton and Scopey at the CP&K. Cheers! Hazy amber beer, ghost of a white head. Softish palate. Sweetish hops - a little paint in there somewhere. Also fresh grapefruit keeping things lively. Finishes sweet and semi dry. Original rating 3.4.

Bottle from Bier Koning. Hazy amber beer with a good off white creamy head. Nice fresh hops. Start off piney grassy but gives way to orange marmalade and then grapefruit bitterness. Trace of pineapple as well. Creamy malt background. Nice IPA!

jesperhammer (2203) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - FEB 17, 2011
11-FEB-2011, bottle @home, with Ulkløbben, from "Fish & Beer". Served blind with 8 Wired, Hopwired. Light orange/golden, huge almost white head. Not much malt compared to hops. Minerally, very bitter and piney. A bit thin body. In IPA that lives mostly on hops, and that is OK, I just prefer a bit more sweet malt to balance. But the again, very fresh.

Murky dark yellow beer. Abundance of fresh, bright fruit flavours in this one. No grapefruit or pine at all, it’s all about the fruit. Medium bitterness and rather dry.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze and a dense and frothy white head with excelent retention. Very fruity and exotic hop aroma - grapefruit and pine. Medium body, some fruity sweetness, pine and citrus with a bitter finish. Nice indeed - fresher than most IPAs. 130211

SirLimpsalot (1611) - SWEDEN - FEB 13, 2011
Fantastisk fruktig doft (en blandning av många frukter – ungefär som en förpackning tropical fruktjuice). Kanske lite obalanserad smak, men ändå en mycket god IPA.
