Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is fruity hops, sweet tropical fruits, orange peel, malt, pine resin, onions, somewhat dank, herbal, with some alcohol in the finish. Flavour is medium sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Has some nice juicy fruity hops, pine resin with dank notes. Once you get past that it’s a pretty rough herbal IIPA with a lack of balance and refinement. Okay, but a rough example within the style.

Can. Light haze on this gold beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Slightly thin malts, but quite sweet. Whisper of grain. Plentiful piney hops, a little hop spice. Slightly tangy and bruised orange and spicy bitter grapefruit. Touch of sweeter fruits on the light spicy finish. Okay. Don't hate it, but there is very many better DIPAs around at any given moment.

Bottle. Color: Amber, big frothy off-white head. Taste: Mostly grassy and floral hops, some citrus hop too. Mix of medium sweet and hopbitter notes, far above average carbonation. Tropical hints of pines and some lightly soapy hints. Less bitter than expected from a DIPA. The high carbonation ruins a lot of the mouthfeel. Far from the top of imperial IPA’s.

Botella 33 cl tomada en el momento en Cimmeria 04..12..2015. (r15). Lote 05..15 hasta 12..2015. Color dorado anaranjado con bastante y persistente espuma blanca. Aromas y sabores bastante dulces, algo tropicales y ligeramente cítricos. Cuerpo medio algo pastoso con bastante gas y 9 vol. Poco amargo final, por el gran dulor inicial, algo seco y herbaceo. Bastante buena.
