Bottled 330ml (alc. 10.0%, BZ, batch #01/2012)
Slightly hazy amber color, small steady white head. Orange jam, pine and horse saddle in the nose. Medium to full bodied. Sticky, resiny hoppy and very sweet but perhaps not so sweet than Chinook and Citra I had. Some alcohol. Overall more on malty than hoppy side for DIPA. But not too bad, I enjoyed although it is quite different than good Citra version.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Amber colour, big off-white creamy head. Aroma is fruits, mild floral notes, some almond as well as some slight tart/sour catpissy notes. Flavour is sweet malts, brilliance in the fruity and floral hoppyness mixed into the malts. Pleasant body and very nice balance in the flavour. 0.33 bottle and 10.0 % according to the bottle Batch 01/2012. One of the best Amarillo beers in a very long time, especially for the flavour.

Bottle, Danke an das Rheinland! Hazy orange, creamy lacing offwhite head. Fairly lemmony Amarillo aroma, somewhat resiny, grassy and a bit sour. Thick resin on the tongue, medium body mellow mouthfeel. Light alcohol burn, peach and mango notes, grassy and citric. Hopoils on the palate in the aftertaste. The bottle was not particulary old, but I feel the freshness of the hops has degraded somewhat.

A cloudy, orange brown beer with a weak and blond head. Aroma is overally fruitfull and surprisingly quite mild, sweet tropical fruits, papaiyas, fructose and some candys. Taste is tropical fruity, lots of sweetness with balancing piney bitterness, overally quite sweet taste. Full bodied, low carbonation, not sticky. Quite nice, sweet DIPA, however, not very balanced beer.

Bottle from the brewery, Zork Cork
Cloudy light amber color. The aroma is fruity, full, delicate, fresh, leaning on the jam side, then some resins and sweat. Good body, but as in the character of Häffner it’s leaner, cleaner, much more drinkable than conventional crystal malt loaded Double IPAs; good malt flavor, almost crispy, with a very good fruity hopping; moderate sweetness in the final, and pleasant alcohol warmth.
Excellent.

Bottle looks good, but not easy to open. Beer in the glass deep golden, small head. Hoppy-sweet aroma. Starts mild, gets drier and drier, sweet-hoppy, fruity touch. Finish wonderful balanced, hoppy-flowery, fine sweet. Great beer!
