Bottle. Amber with lots of particulates. Beige head. Mild but distinctive gooseberry/ grass/ funk aroma with some caramel. Creamy texture. Gentle and plain caramel sweetness with mild citrus bitterness. On the reserved side for an English-style IPA - it strikes me as more an ESB - but with NZ hop character. Timid.

Bottled, thanks TimE! Clear amber, firm head. Vague grapefruity aroma. Mid-sweet, mily and caramelly with notes of rubber. A pedestrian crossing of American style malt, NZ type hops in British amounts.

Light brown color. Huge crystal malts upfront with hops definitely playing second fiddle. Some bitterness in the mouth, but really I thought this was an IPA for yuppies, who want to get into craft beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear amber golden with an off-white head and lots of floating impurities. Lightly citrusy hoppy nose. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel, some citrus and a somewhat astringent hoppy finish. Could very well be tuned up a bit on the hops. 270408

Bottled. A dark golden beer with sediment floating around under a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - especially citrus fruits, but also notes of hops and hints of yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeasty, hops, and fruit - especially lemins, leading to a quite spicy finish. The body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for shipping this home.

Papsoes mystery blindtasting beer #9. Pours clear and orange with a fully diminished white head. Light citrus fruity hops aroma. Flavour is delicate floral and fruity hops. Medium dry into the finish with only a vague bitterness.
