One of our first beers was Hopstart Amarillo IPA. Now we double up and crown our favourite penguin imperial style with even more hops.
Imperial, or Double, IPA is truly an unique American Style. they should be hopcentric, but not tongue shreddingly bitter. In our DIPA we went for an assertive hop balance showcasing one of our favourite US-hops Amarillo that imparts orange, pineapple, grapefruit and piny flavours.

Can@SBWF2022. Goldeny amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is pineapple, zest, some nectary tones with mild wood and some biscuity and caramel tones. Flavour is pretty much following the same pattern, but also has a bit of warming alcohol to it. Pleasant sipper.

Gyllengul vätska med rejäl skumkrona. Arom av apelsin, mjuk kaka och tobak. Tilltagen men inte överdriven maltighet i smaken med rejäl dos beska. Inget för en besknybörjare. Välbalanserad och mycket fint hantverk.

fat på chapter växjö. Denna dryck doftar sött av fina små gula gelegodisar och lite bapelsin. I munnen först fräscht söt av vingummin i apelsin 🍊. Sen kommer snabbt en kemisk lätt plastig ton in tyvär . Nä synd med den udda articifiella kemisk parfymerade smaken.

(Draught, taster, Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 3 Dec 2021) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with mango, grapefruit and pineapple. Malty, fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, peaches, soft bready malt and a generous citric bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich, tasty and juicy, with an impressive hop presence and malt to back it up. Great beer!
