Amager Bryghus continues to deliver some seriously hoppy news – this is a Dry-Hopped West Coast IPA with a real bite to it!
The world of craft beer (whatever that is) has grown way beyond our wildest imagination since we mashed in our virgin brew in 2007, in that nuclear fallout shelter that served as the first location for Amager Bryghus. The amount of breweries worldwide has exploded since that, to what - two or three times as many as back in 2007? It's a crazy and inspiring world for us beer folks, and it's also an extremely competitive environment with many breweries struggling to find their niche in the market. And that bastard virus sure didn't help. But we're still here! Older and fatter, but definitely not wiser or richer. But we insist on being silly and curious and playful and to keep experimenting and goofing around with those basic ingredients that make a beer. That's why we created the Brewer's Playground series, to do exactly that: play around. We'll be testing new ingredients and new approaches to brewing, and hopefully you won't notice anything at all, because the beer is just that damned good! As we always say at Amager, we take beer seriously, but ourselves way less so.

Can, 0.44l. Aroma of citrus, ripe tropical fruit, bubblegum, biscuit, soil and flowers. Pours hazy orange amber color with thick creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Taste starts medium sweet caramelly and refreshing tropical and stone fruity, following is bready, earthy and piney with touch of carrots, mouthfeel is smooth but dry, while finish is heavy herbal bitter. Medium to full body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Astringent play of the day...
