Draught at Mikkeller Bar, Copenhagen
Cloudy dark amber color, with red hue; creamy head. Strong hoppy aroma, citrus fruits with a tad of soil and dust, some cheese and then hop resins; maybe chaotic, but interesting indeed. The body is quite strong, with a powerful caramel flavor, some roasted malt and a tendency to earthiness; also, the yeast has quite some trace here; the hopping is obviously strong, very resiny and no longer fruity. The final is powerful, it almost becomes aggressive. It can be defined more as robust, and rough, than elegant. Very American.

Draught @ Salhojankadun Pub, Tampere. Rated on 09.06.2011
Aroma is rather hoppy and fruity with grapes. Flavour is really hoppy for a PA with lots of grapes and fruitiness. This beer consists just of hops, but I like it!

Tap. Amber with an off-white head. Gentle aroma of pine, light berries, a little biscuit. Taste is sweet with berries, orange, a little biscuit, some window cleaner. Lots of hop aromatics but lacks much in the way of bitterness. Finishes sweet. Not really my sort of thing.

On tap at Craft Beer. Hazy deep amber, small cream coloured head. Smooth palate with fine carbonation. Nice piney hops with a little grapefruit and orange. But the pale malt tastes pretty raw and somewhat cloying. A real mixed bag this one!
