This is our take on a double IPA. Although some would consider it somewhat ‘Belgian’ in its malt and yeast profile, we definitely crammed in all the juicy, fruity and fresh hops that any hophead could possibly wish for.
With Elliot, we tried to create a refreshing beer that’s dangerously drinkable while still maintaining that unxious mouthfeel that Struise is so renowned for. Being able to either quaffed or sipped, this is one of our most versatile multi-purpose beers.

Opaque tan with a rocky head. Herbal, minty hop nose with citrus rind and chewy malts. A sweet and spicy brew, with citrusy overtones, a chewy caramel middle, and a woody, alcoholic finish. That bit of unbalanced booziness and a general lack of brightness holds this one down.

Bottle. Rich amber beer with a big cream colored head. Slightly soapy/hoppy aroma with yeast and light spice. Grapefruit hop flavor with Belgian yeast, light spice, and caramel. Medium-plus bodied. Spice, grapefruit linger with caramel and yeast.

33cl Bottle found at Beer Paradise in Holstebro. Hazy amber color with a rich and thick off white head that lasts. Lots of hops in the aroma with citric fruit touches. The flavor is malty with fruit notes. Very nice

Bottle at home 12-08-08 purchased from Cave Direct Beer Merchants (Mixed case of Mikkeller Beer) Pours hzy mid amber with a white head that is flecked sporadically with yeast. Wonderful hoppy bite that is immediately softened and tempered with a nice sweetness. There are definate and obvious infuences from both Struise and Mikkeller but I know I’m going agaisnt the grain but I don’t think they combine as well as I would hope, in saying that this is still a very good beer.

Das IIPA startet eher mild mit einen süßlichen und vollmundigen Hopfenaroma. Im Mittelteil wird das Bier untertönig malzig, die Hopfigkeit bleibt konstant, wird aber etwas süßer. Hier fruchtig, etwas nach Banane, weiterhin vollmundig. Zum Ende hin etwas pricklend, das Bier wirkt unglaublich weich. Im Abgang wird das Bier dann kurz süßer, pendelt sich aber wieder ein. Ein scharfer Ton lässt den Alkohol erahnen. Entgegen den Erwartungen wird das Bier hier nicht hopfiger, beim Nachlassen der Intensität wird ein noch länger erkennbarer holzig-bitterer Ton erkennbar. Hat was!

Bottled. Pours a cloudy orange brown color, thick creamy head. Aroma of yeast, slight sourness, slight hop, some fruit like orange, pineapple and citrus. Taste is not as bitter as I expected by the style. But more like a fruity sirupy triple, though with a soft bitter hop background.
