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%.

Bottle. Golden color. Grapefruit, oily hops and melon in the aroma. Oily hopbitterness, pineapple, citrus and melon in the flavor, flowing into an earthy, plastic hopbitter aftertaste. Fruity and very bitter, tasty beer.

Fles gedeelt met KoenvD. Het is een troebel oranje bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige wat harsige geur en smaak.

33cl can. Murky orange with a medium beige head, good retention. Lots of citrus, orange, grapefruit on the nose. Taste is light sweet citrus, orange and grapefruit, peach, very resinous, some caramel, bitter finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Good, at least better than the out of date bottle I had.
330ml bottle (BB 29/03/18). Pours murky orange with a huge beige head, good retention. Aroma of citrus fruits, orange, sweet malts, caramel. Taste is becoming a bit of a malt bomb but there's still some orange, citrus, pine, but quite prominent caramel and sweet malts, bitter citric finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Ok, but obviously age is an issue here being a couple of weeks out of date, and knowing what how long To Øl like to date these beers this was probably well over a year old.
