Flaske 0,33l Gave fra Rune. Mørk brun med et brukbart, litt farget skum. Litt lacing. Veldig forsiktig aroma. Antydning til malt. Smaken er veldig flyktig. Spor av frukt som raskt blir overdøvd av en tung bitterhet og blir veldig tørr etter hvert.

Sampled from a 0.33l bottle @ the brewery. This is a kinda blurry, perhaps light cloudy deep amber almost bronze colored and it has a nice medium sized soft beige top. On the nose it had bit a sweetness and a clear fruitiness. Almost honey-melon sweetness with dark candied sugar and some caramel. Smells quite nice, gentle and nice. This one also has a really round and balanced flavor. It's somewhat dark caramel infused in the taste with subtle hints of dark fruits and malt drops. Yeah, quite a good one! 15.02.2014

Sampled from a 0.33l bottle @ the brewery. In the glass this one has a light cloudy deep amberish looks with a medium sized light lacing beige head. A but mild nose perhaps. It has a caramel sweetness combined with a little bit of butter, mild berry fruitiness and traces of hops. Not very IPA-ish on the aroma to be honest. Tastes a bit like a English style IPA. If you can call it an IPA. It has a bitter punch, but as good as no fruitiness or citrus taste. It has a nice oily mouthfeel and the carbonation is spot on how it should be. Grassy mouthdrying finish and aftertaste here. Would not call this an IPA, but it's not a bad beer at all. 15.02.2014

Sample from bottle at the brewery. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of green apples and a little caramel. The flavour has some caramel (but the beer is brewed only with pilsener malt - the wort of all their beers is boiled very vigorously over a gas flame, which seems to caramelize the wort a bit), and decent hops in the finish.

Bottle at Fastelavn Smagning 2014 @ J&C’s beer palace, Jutland 28/02/14. Hazed dark orange amber with moderate beige spotting/edgework. Nose is over ripened fruit, toffee, spice, straw. Taste comprises brown sugars, dark fruits, toffee, light spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so, doesn’t offer much but isn’t offensive either!
