This is truly violent. BOOM - hops is all over! Hazy orange with white head. One dimensional - no balance - and almost thin body feel. Power hops, fruity soapy flowers! Due to its lack of malty balance - I love it!

Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Cloudy amber, brief head. Lovely soapy, flowery hoppy grapefruit aroma. Some brief sweet malt gets completely overrun by an onslaught of extreme hoppiness. The light body surrenders, and after a while it feels like drinking shampoo. Inky, extremely bitter finish. Need I say this beer is unbalanced? I stick my head out and take a wild guess that the brewers did not aim for balance in this beer though.

Draught at Copenhagen Beerfestival. Thank you Yngwie for getting in front of the line......... Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Fantastic powerfull hoppy aroma (strange yes?) Harsh bitter flavor but some good bitter notes manges to move forward. Long finish. Creamy palate. But it is a beast and not great for more than the experiment.

Tap, Olfestival. Cloudy orange color, short head. Very hoppy and fruity aroma, grapefruit. Very harsh bitterness, crips taste. However, it’s just too much of the bitterness, and nothing much else, just too dominant. Therefore it lacks the complexity and balance a pale ale should have. Great bitterness though.
