A powerful DIPA brewed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Virmalised.
Taste: The first sip starts out with a fleeting hint of sweet pineapple flesh and ripe nectarines, but the hops here are undeniable, with their resinous character swiftly coating the tongue like pine sap. What follows is a lingering wave of bitter citrus and lemongrass that might just leave you seeing green.
Appearance: A vibrant orange beer with a tight white head.
Nose: A complex gradient of colourful notes ranging from subtly sweet orange zest to assertive resinous aroma akin to pine needles and grapefruit pith.

pours clear, blonde. Small white head. Scent is bright, citrus, fine. Crisp. Taste is sharp, bit bitter, elegant. Crystal malts. Way above expectations and far better than I remember (any version of) Virmalised to be. Nice !

440ml can. Hazy golden orange, white head. Aroma of grapefruit, orange, mango, resin. Taste of orange and grapefruit, piney resin, very nice strong bitter finish. Medium bodied. Great old school DIPA. Some raters so fucking harsh on beers of this style. Good grief!

can from kihoskh strong super very refreshing hoppy aroma, green grapes, pine needlees, watermelon, grapefruit, sweet malts add to the sweetness of the hops, all very well balanced. Flavor is a somewhat resiny flowery hoppy ipa, quite strong too, very rounded and balanced, some exotic fruity notes, pretty good.

440ml can, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Misty golden body, upper part lacing, and a decent pearl white head. Promising ripe citrus aromas joined by semi-sweet malts. Rather soft malt-fruity taste with moments of citrus, grass, herbal hops, and a distant bite of sweet malt. Mid-dry ending, bittersweet. Fine depth to it. Pleasing to a certain degree. (Tromsø, 27.07.2024).

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
