DFA is dead, long live DFA. Demus Favorem Amori - 'We choose to stand for love'. DFA, a surprising blend of flavours marrying mango, Vietnamese mint, lime, and chilli with the high citrus hit of centennial, amarillo, and citra hops. The result is a deliciously intense tryst of bittersweet heat, tropical fruit, and citrus hop character coming together to create a beer of rich, satisfying balance. Life is all about choices. Choose love.

Bottle at home. Has a clear, dark amber colour and a light beige head. A little spicy aroma with mango, pine, leather and some caramel. The flavour has more fruity hops with pine, citrus, tropical fruits and chilli in the end. Has a silky and slick mouth feel, and a balanced bitterness. An interesting version of a IPA with a nice chilli touch in the end.

650 ml bottle. Slightly hazy orange body with a medium sized off-white head. Nice, strong hoppy aroma, mostly pine and grass with citric fruit in the background. Flavor is medium sweet malt, some caramel, green pepper, some fruit and strong grassy hop bitterness. Well balanced body for the hoppy style and long bitter aftertaste. Not super complex, but very refreshing, quaffable and rather moorish. Like it a lot.

650ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Vika. Shared with Finn and his neighbours next door. Apricot coloured body, pearl white head. Aroma of orange, apricot and a spicy bite. Dried fruity flavours, hints of pine, basement, and forest. Mild yeasty fruitiness to a chili finish. Fine bodied. Has got some moments of interests (Tromsø 04.11.2014).
