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!

From tap at Den tatoverede Enke. Pours clear and golden amber with a dense white head. Dense pine and fruity hops aroma. Flavour is solid hops with notes of pine and liqourice. Dry fruity and bitter finish. Very bitter and liqourice into the far finish.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Dark amber color; thin creamy cap. Very nice hoppy aroma, fruity over all, but also a bit resiny, and with a milky fudge touch. Very good body, not sticky, but with a good sweet caramel and malt flavor, complemented by the strong hopping, balancing between subtle fruitness and elegant resins. Needless to say, the final is very long and strong, still with some sugars to moderate the hops. Excellent.

Copper brown color, small off-white head. Fruity ("kiwi fruits"), hoppy aroma, similar to Beer Hunters NZPA - 5 different aromatic hops used here! Fruity - very fruity hoppy flavor. Long bitter and dry aftertaste.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 21 Sep 2007) Reddish amber colour with frothy beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with dark fruit, orange peel and pine needles. Fruity taste with notes of dark fruit, grapefruit, orange and loads of pine needles in a long, hoppy finish. Great hop character, slightly sweetish. Great beer.

(Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse No 68, Stockholm, 13 april) Dark brown colour with a firm off-white head. Fruity nose with citrus peel, blood oranges and loads of hop aromas. Fruity taste with the same notes of citrus and blood oranges. Lovely hop character, but the taste is slightly less balanced than the nose. Still, great beer, and this brewery seems to be growing in confidence.

Draft. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and spicy. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, bisquits, grass, and spices, leading to a dry spicy finish. Nice.

Draught at Bishops Arms, Göteborg. Dark amber, very lightly hazy, minimal head. Rich grapefruit aroma. Sweet with clean, bold mouthfeel. Lots of crystal malt and American hops. Very bitter finish. A typical Dugges beer, typical American in style from it’s clean mouthfeel to it’s rich juicy hoppiness.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm. Clear copper colour, rich firm head. Powerful hop aroma of lychee and mango. Sweet with notes of malt, black cherries and tangerine. Wave after wave of aromatic hops roll in on top of a straigh forward American style malt character. Really bitter, and it lingers, but doesn’t go overboard. Yeah!
