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 from Barley Wine, CPH - fuzzy orange coloured pour with white head. Medley of tropical and zesty citrus fruits in the aroma and taste, lots of orange, lemon, peach and mango, pine, medium malty, solid bitter finish. Gorgeous.

Flaske 330ml fra Vinmonopolet, Bestillingsutvalget. Gyldenbrun. Høyt tett skum som varer lenge. Spotlacing. Litt uklar. God aprikosaroma. Smaken tørr frukt. Etterlater en ikke god ettersmak.

Huskelapp til meg selv: En heftig og begeistret am. pale ale som jeg har hatt stor glede av ved flere anledninger. Her er det mye av alt, men likevel elegant balansert. Denne må jeg kjøpe flere av neste gang jeg er innom Kihoskh!

12oz bottle. Golden hazy pour into the pint glass. Large white to off white head that lasted throughout, some soapy lacing on the glass. Tropical fruit aroma, grapefruit, orange zest, some caramel and biscuit. Taste had the traditional flavor of the hops used, grapefruit, tropical fruit, floral, zesty, but there was also an interesting salty aroma. Full bitter finish, nice oily mouthfeel.
