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.

On tap at BBF ’13. Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of citrussy and tropical fruity hops, grapefruit, hint of pine. Flavour is crisp, citrus, lemon, grapefruit, some mango and pine, dry bitter hoppy finish. Light-bodied. Nice.

Sample at SBWF 2013. Hazy golden with a white head. I really liked the fresh aroma of this beer. Fruit, citrus and grass. The taste was not as good but still decent. Medium bitter and nicely drinkable. A solid collaboration between two interesting breweries.

Tap at Borefts 2013. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin frothy white head. The aroma is grassy hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a grassy nettle, crisp, yeasty, refreshing palate. A superb beer.

Flavor is bitter hoppy, citrussy, flowery, dry malty, drinkable, many dry and bitter notes in this apa, very hoppy though, with quite some oranges and exotic fruits in addition to the pine and citrus.
