On a stop over in Baltimore we were hosted by the
overwhelmingly hospitable Brian Strumke.

Getting hammered drinking his potions — made out of rice and corn — it was with a sense of inspiration that we drove of early in the morning to catch our flight back to Sweden.

Nathalius is an imperial IPA brewed with rice and corn. However, fair and alluring as though she might seem, this miss will whip you into submission.

Pours hazy pale pear into a snifter. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Citrus and rice aromas. Crisp with harsh rice and a strange bitter sugar substitute flavor upfront turning to a lasting bitter aspirin finish. Unlike anything else....

33cl ølbutikken 36dkk. cloudy yellow, large white head. strong hoppy aroma, also what might seem like belgian yeasts or wild yeasts, spicy crisp note. Very nice aroma. Flavor is strong hoppy, bitter hoppy, slightly spicy bitter, belgian yeasty - I can’t help thinking saison yeasts, pretty bitter, but still very refreshing.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy, opaque golden orange with a large foamy white head. Nose brings out some interesting herbal notes, various grains, and of course bold hops. Flavour isn't as nice as the nose suggests, bringing out very harsh hop notes that scorch the palate, dirt, cardboard, and other weird harsh elements. Wow, this is really difficult to drink - the aromatics seem so promising, but the flavour profile is so brutal that I couldn't finish my glass. Nice attempt, but this is too brutal, abrasive and undrinkable. Not sure what the goal was here.

Bottle 330ml (Bierkompass)
Hazy orange color, small white head. Intensive bitter, "sweaty", piney aroma. Medium-bodied. Corn and rice are there with kind of sweet maltyness. Loads of grapefruit and resin. Extremely bitter with some fruity notes. Interesting!

330ml bottle. Hazy, orangey golden colour with huge, frothy, fully lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Hoppy aroma has notes of tropical fruit, mango, grapefruit, a sweaty resinous touch. Taste is bitter, chalky, mineral, medicinal, Aspirin, rice parings. Awful taste, the largest discrepancy between aroma and taste I can remember.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a huge yellowish head. The aroma has notes of lemons and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrusy hops, malt, and brewing cereal, leading to a very bitter and raw finish.
