33cl bottle at home. Dark caramel pour, hazy, with a tall light beige head. Notes of caramel, light vanilla, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit. Smooth texture, velvet-like mouthfeel with a medium carbonation and a hop-forward finish.

330ml bottle from Brewery Creek with George and Ilya. Best before 2017-05-11. Pours a dark golden with a white head. Aroma is candied tropical fruits. Taste is the same, moderate bitterness, low to moderate sweetness. Good.

Hazy amber. Thick head. The aroma is sort of a stewed fruit melange of older and less salubrious hops, along with too much crystal malt. On the palate it has a full body, and while it’s a bit too chewy for me, it’s not to an unreasonable level. The hops are where this comes undone, lacking brightness and settling in for more of that stewed quality. Bitterness is moderate for style, and the alcohol comes into the finish in good balance. Still, that level of chewiness and hops lacking brightness is unfortunate.

Ein Bier, das mir einfach zu übertrieben ist: es hat sehr starke hopfige Bitternoten, die den gesamten Geschackseindruck beherrschen. Es hat Aromen nach Orangenschale und Getreide und Hefe, aber der bittere Hopfen lässt nicht viel anderes zu. Ein klassisches Bier für neu-englische Hop-heads.

Clear, amber colored, medium of white frothy head, good lasting. Aroma is of malt, caramel, some carob, pine, floral and fruity medium hoppy aroma, bit resin, some alcohol. Taste is medium+ sweet malt and decent amount of caramel, medium pine, fruity and floral hops, bit orange hardcandy, some alcohol, medium bitterness. Medium+ bodied, soft carbonaiton, oily. Doesn’t feel like a fresh bottle... (bottle, Pivoljub Ljubljana)

0.33l bottle. Finally! The Final Frontier. After countless attempts to try this, finally it's in my glass. The Overall frontier was actually the very first beer I ever had at Mikkeller Bar, and I can't count on one hand how many times I though I bought this, but actually bough First frontier. Well, enough of that. This one looks lovely in the glass. A tall and superbly lacing just off-white almost fluffy head over a near glowing deep orange colored cloudy body. The aroma, oh, it's peachy and nectarine fruity. Piney hopped with tones of blackcurrants, fresh lime peel, and a generic citrusness. Lovely. It tastes just as good, actually. It's nice and oily in the mouth and it's just about average, almost creamy and growing on the carbonation. Super piney with a hefty load of hoppy bitterness. Again, it has this nectarine fruitiness. Not peach but nectarines. It's also slightly mandarin peel and almost a little marmalade bitter. Just lovely tasting and well worth the wait! 28.10.2016
