23rd August 2008. Cloudy amber beer. When very cold direct from the fridge I found the taste like a harsh barleywine - salty and grapefruit bitter. As the beer warmed up a little the bitter grapefruit was replaced by bitter orange and some peach. The saltiness remained in the background though. Intriguing.

orange, smooth small offwhite head. aroma of flowery hops, lots of malt, some bitter hops, some aged or old hops. very sweet malty base, lots and lots of hops some flowery some old some bitter, faint licorice, ends bitter hoppy. overall a very nice Double ipa, which now seems to have gotten some old beer notes too, sort of becoming a little barley wineish.

Draft at the brewery. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of grass and citrus, as well as some caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of hops - like chewing fresh hops, combined with medium notes of malt and caramel.

Bottle at Haket, Göteborg shared with Gnoff. Pours hazy orange, thin white head. Aroma and taste, hoppy, with good malty balance, caramel and brown sugar. Light spicy finish, not overly hoppy and at 9.5%, it has a nice warming boozy mouthfeel.

Bottle from Cave Direct in the UK. An amber coloured beer with a neat white head on top. A rich, sweet, malty, toffee hop bomb with hints of grapefruit and orange too. Absolutely no bitterness whatsoever, an extremely drinkable Double IPA. Wish I had some more of this fabulous beer in the cupboard, possibly the best beer that I have had this year.
