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 Mikkeller, it poured an amber gold with a herbal/floral aroma. The taste was sweet, then malts and finished hoppy with a bit of funk. A decent pale ale but nothing that special.

Drucken på Brekeriet Bar i Djurslöv. Smak och doft av humle, tropisk frukt, persika, aprikos, citrus med toner av jäst. Frisk och färsk. Juicekänsla med en tydlig beska med smak av grapefrukt. Välbalanserad. Fantastiskt gott.

Bottle from Fish & Beer, Copenhagen - Fuzzy murky orange colour with a puffy medium white head and persistent lacing. Strong punchy juicy citrus hops, lemon, tangerine, mango, some pine, sweet grainy malts. Intoxicating (in a good way) fruity mouthfeel. This is my kind of beer. Beautiful.
