The sunstone - much disputed among scholars. Did the Viking navigators really have such a tool that would help them point out what was east and what was west - even on a less than sunny day? We certainly believe so. Many years later no sunstone was needed when Amager Bryghus was invaded by what very much looked like Viking ancestors of American descent. Hailing from Munster, Indiana, Chris Boggess and Barnaby Struve of Three Floyds Brewing arrived not with a vengeance but with very loud King Diamond on their portable mp3 player. This was not a day for slaughter but for brewing. And brew we did. The mellow and dangerously quaffable Arctic SunStone is proof that even Viking warriors can have a more subtle side to them. All hail to Three Floyds.

0,3l from tap at Tap House Pracownia, Krakow shared with gf. amber hazy color, small white head. smells of black currant note, grass, pines, fruits, lightly grapefruity, some mango, light spices. decent smell. medium to full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes a bit sweet, herbal, grass, oranges, very very light currant note, light flour. finishes with oranges and some (sweet) herbs. good stuff, feels a bit heavy towards the finish, probably from the sweetness, overall quite light on the bitterness. good but had better.

Tresciwe piwo ze spora piana ale srednio trwala, kremowa i ladna. Spore zmetnienie pomaranczowo brzoskwiniowa barwa. Piwo pachnie dojrzalym ananasem pomarancza i mandarynkami. W smaku bardzo slodowe, goryczkowe i kwiatowe. Tresciwe i sycace, sprawia lekko wrazenie przyciezkawego i nawet przypomina mi imperial ipa. Koncowka wytrawna i dluga.
