This is an ale that is not afraid of standing tall among other great beers. The intense, sharp and fruity hoppiness is backed by its complex, caramel-like malty structure. Big, yet refreshing. Bold but balanced. This beer has been designed to have it all, to be the greatest common denominator.

Bottle passed onto me by Jan & Charlotte, many thanks to a very generous couple. Consumed 04.01.12 Fruity and tangy with a big malty back up. Nice aftertaste bitter and a little pithy fruitiness, hoppy but also a little nutty. Very dry at the end, great beer, pours red amber with large off-white head. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.7

Bottle. Brownish beer with a strong frothy off white’ish brown head. The aroma is very lightly hopped, and the flavour is very well hopped with a hefty bitter and dry finish. Overall not a too bad well hopped beer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle shared with staff @ Ølbutikken on October 15. Thank you for gifting and sharing the bottle with us! Sadly I can’t remember your name. Pours reddish brown with a thick white head that leaves lots of trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is pine, orange zest, earth, minerals and metal. Taste is big and rough with lots of metal, pine, resin and kiwifruit. Metal taste gets weaker as the beer gets warmer. Finish is bitter and stays on your tongue for ages.

0.5l bottle from BrewDog web shop. This one pours a semi clear dark mahogany red body with a nice, lasting and almost creamy heavy lacing lightly tanned head. The aroma is fruity and hoppy with notes of heavy pine, citrus, grapefruit, caramel and malts. Average carbonation, medium to full-bodied and it has a sharp but still near creamy mouthfeel. Flavors are quite pint and bitter with lots of malts, some mildly burned notes, hints of strawberries and spices. Ends strong, quite dry and sharp-bitter with a long lasting piny aftertaste. I got a bit confused when I saw that this was classified as an amber (thought it was an IPA), but it was quite a nice beer indeed.

Bottle. It pours a hazy, amber body and a dense, finger-thick beige head. Nice hoppy accent on the nose, pine cones and citrus peel. Caramel notes and something lightly spiced too. A bit sweet on the palate I think, but nice, with a pleasant bitterness lasting a long time. Caramel and citrus peel too. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Overall, nice, but too sweet, else it’s a beer I could have a few of. Well, it still is a beer I could have a few of. 110917
