High Five is an American IPA brewed at Dugges since 2007. Five types of high alpha acid hops create a well-disposed bitterness and bring out abundant notes of grapefruit, tropical fruit and pine.
This beer is another one of those beers that has been around since our early years. Though, it has gone through some changes over time. We wanted to brew an American IPA. We wanted it to have and aroma from which you could pick up everything that you like with the style. To achieve this, we hopped and dry-hopped it with five, high alpha acid, American hops. And, almost by default, it got its name. High Five! Initially, this beer clocked in at 7.5%. But in order to make it a little lighter we took it down to 6.5.%. And, while the hops are still the same, we've increased the amount of hops and dry-hops numerous times. Because, times change. And, even though you got a hop-punch from this in 2007, the amount of hops in it then would not have given you one now. But since it's more, a lot more, you do!

Der amrikanische Hopfen ist schon im Geruch dominierend, insgesamt wurden 5 verschiedene Hopfensorten benutzt. Bedeckt hopfiger Antrunk, milder als gedacht. Zwar ist das Bier stark hopfenlastig, zumindest untertönig ist aber auch eine deutliche Malznote offensichtlich. Der Hopfen ist aromatisch, wirkt aber im vorderen Mittelteil manchmal etwas schlaff und kann sich erst im weiteren Verlauf behaupten. Dabei scheinen die verschiedenen Hopfensorten mit ihren Eigenschaften gut zueinander zu passen, sie ergänzen sich, sind aber trotzdem zum Teil unterscheidbar. Im Abgang malziger, der Hopfen agiert typischer und lässt das Bier äußerst frisch wirken. Gelungenes IPA! Test vom 1.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,11,11,12,8,11 - 10,60

Bottle, 7.5%. Fruity aroma, hint of berries, rough caramel hoppiness. Clear red brown colour. Big stable tan head. Quite hoppy flavour, bitter and sweet, citric and caramelly. Considering the ABV, this could have been better.

Bottle at Haket, Gothenburg. A copper to golden beer with some clouds and a nice beige head. Citrus, mostly lemon, and sugary malts in the aroma. Some caramel in the background. Pineapple too. Sweet and malty flavor with some strawberry-sour and lemony notes. And pineapple. Full-bodied, almost astringent. Long piney, citrusy finish. A quite nice beer, but not my favorite from Dugge.

Medium beige head. Brown body. Deep citric tropical fruit aroma with notes of mango, lemon, lime, and light roasty malts. Dry peppery citric tropical fruit taste with roasty, dusty malts notes and grapefruity pine needles. Very sharp mouthfeel, somewhat chalky. A bit thin and harsh, could use more body. Very sharp mouthfeel. Bitter grapefruit aftertaste. Nice! (0.4l draft at Tre Små Rum, Göteborg.)

Amber with a lasting off-white head. Pine, resin, perfume-y peach in the aroma. Rather sweet with a rough hop bitterness. Maybe too much high alpha hop?
