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.

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%.

Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is kind of neutral, leafs, grass, hops, wet grain. Taste is harsh grassy, wet leafs, wet grass, bark, hops, wet grain, resiny pine needles, minerals, sap. Longlasting harsh bitterness. Boring!

Nez de houblon résineux, terreux aux notes citriques et herbeuses, moyen de caramel et de fruits (agrumes, traces d’abricots) avec quelques traces d’épices (poivre très doux). Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texturre huileuse et aux petites notes résineuses. Goût moyen-amer de houblon terreux, légèrement citrique et résineux (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) et accompagné d’un goût fruité (agrumes, traces d’abricots) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de malt sucré du genre caramel terreux avec des traces de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon prend un penchant plus résineux, légèrement plus herbeux et asséchant avec quelques notes poivrées. Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyen-amer de houblon résineux, légèrement citrique et herbeux avec des notes terreuses ainsi qu’avec un léger goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes).

Bottle, 10C. Hazy gold with a large white head that lasts well. Aroma of grapefruit, kumquat, gooseberries, lime leaves, hints of pine window cleaner. Light-bodied, medium carbonation. Fleeting sweetness, loads of citrus flavours, less peach and tropical notes, a very little biscuit. Bitterness matches the aromatics. Dry at the end. There’s no depth, subtlety or character, just a hop show. And a good one.

Pours hazy amber with a lasting head.Nose shows resinous hops, grapefruit, overt caramel and sweet crystal malt.Very hoppy flavours, more resinous notes but mainly in regards to the bold, almost aggressive piny bitterness. Loads of sweet malt underneath to balance things out.Body seems a bit too thick and syrupy.

330 mL bottle. Pours dark gold with a huge, off-white head and thick lacing. The aroma is pine, grapefruit, cereal, and orange peel. The flavor is intensely bitter, with a mild malt sweetness. The palate is surprisingly light, astringent, and sticky. Overall, this is a good IPA, but nothing special.
