Bottle. Amber beer with a big dark cream color. Huge grapefruit and light pine aroma. Piney, grapefruit flavor with a little musty earthiness. Medium body. Nice bitterness. Grapefruit and pine resin lingers. Some tropical fruitiness throughout. Pure hops. Nice.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a large, creamy white head with great lace over a hazy orange body with some particles. Aroma is grassy with spicy and pine like hops, a bit of melon, fresh grainy malt and a bit of papaya. Taste is not very bitter, a ton of malt sweetness with a fruity hop finish. Light bubbles and a water like mouthfeel.

Draught, 7%. Distinctly grassy hop aroma. Cloudy amber colour. Stable creamy off-white head. The flavour is a quite rough hoppiness, very grassy and quite bitter. There is a little sweetness to balance, and the mouthfeel is OK. The bitterness gets a bit much for me after a while.

Strangely, it’s very cloudy; amber color with generous whipped cream head. The aroma is spectacular, the hop is very fruity: passion fruit, mango, oranges, and even light banana; there is a gentle touch of pine needles. The body is reasonably bold, the mouthfeel is soft; good flavor of toffee and caramel, with some residual sweetness; the hop mainly gives a piney touch now. Pleasure.

Hazy amber color. The aroma is not only fruity, but also earthy, almost manure. The flavor is affected too much by the yeast, the final too, and therefore a bit harsh.

Cloudy amber color; creamy head. Very strong aroma, pigfarm, manure, then citrus fruits. Medium body, dry toffee, powerful hopping, very aromatic. Extreme but very good.
2008-10-24, draught at Plan B, Copenhagen, 8-4-7-5-15=39
Cloudy light color. Strong sweat hop aroma, hop pellets, citrusy. The body is not strong, some toffee, with powerful hopping and strong bitterness.

On tap @ EBF 2008 as Single Hop Simcoe IPA. Golden body with a big off white head. Strong hoppy aroma of citrus like grapefruit and pine. Flavor has some malt, but dominated by hops and citrus. It actually does not feel sweet at all, just bitter. Long and bitter finish as well. Even being a beer for hopheads it does not feel to one-dimensional, I find it aggressive but balanced.
