Hops, hops, hops. The Kompaan 58 Handlanger has skipped the process of a normal IPA and has hopped over to adulthood. Backwards engineering! Lots of hops: Simcoe, Amarillo and El Dorado and three kinds of malts. A full flavored double IPA of 8.2%, but beware!
This beer is strong, but doesn’t taste as quite as dangerous--just like a night on the town with your “handlangers” (accomplices). Citrusy notes in smell and taste in combination with a tropical fruit palate and a bittersweet aftertaste.

Flarra i hemmet. Doftar lite trä, druvor. Omedelbart i munnen tung maltig tydlig sötma. Sen kommer druvor åh lite mjöl toner. Ingen Weast coast här inte. God ja

Sampled from tap at ’Craft & Draft’. Slightly hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, fruity-grassy aroma of lemon, grapefruit and honey. Sweetish, fruity-grassy taste of honey, lemon and grapefruit, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a little grassy finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, flat. A bit sweet, not too bitter, but very nice!

Pours a hazy orangey amber color, topped with a big and lasting white head. Nice fruity bomb in the nose, some caramel, biscuity and alsohol presence as well later on. Taste starts quite sweet and fruity, bitterness holds a bit back at first, though still easily noticed. More herbal bitterness in the aftertaste. Surprisingly sweet and fruity, alcohol can’t be really tasted which is very nice. Very solid.

330 ml bottle bb 01.10.17, from my EU Local Swap 4/2015 sender MrHangover, thanks!
Dark golden, moderate hazy body, with a big, frothy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of lychee, citrus, orange, passion fruit, berries, biscuit, some grass, slight pine.
Tastes of grapefruit, lychee, orange, grass, some pine, some earth, biscuit.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, medium dry, piney, zesty, a bit grassy, with some alcohol warmth.
Very nice. Alcohol is noticeable, but not too heavy, quite well balanced. I really like the lychee notes and the piney finish. Overall not world class maybe, but a pleasant DIPA I would drink again.

At De Paas. Clear amber with small head. Sweet pine hops, bit citrus, sweet toasted malts, some spices and yeast. Backlog from 2014/05/27. /// Feb. 2017. Now with American hops. Clear amber with white head. Sweet malts, resiny and citrus hops. Pineapple, caramel, hints of anise or some other aromatic spice. Dirty ground hops, hop pellets, something doughy. Over medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied and average carbonation. Dry chalky texture. All in all a nice beer but not a very clean aroma, theres some dirt or obstacles in there but that kind of makes it down-to-earth and interesting. Nice.
