Bottle from Kihøskh, Copenhagen
Beautiful golden to light amber color, cloudy, with a medium sized creamy head. The arome is mild but perfumy of some fruity and resiny hops, with scents of mountain forests. Lean mouthfeel, it has a very good tooffee flavor, quite dry to increase drinkability; good bitterness level, without excess; the hop carries with it a good amount of resins, hop oils, and bitter/citrusy fruits; ther eis even a nice earthy touch, almost manure (and it was already perceived in the aroma too). The final is long and pleasing.
Apparently quite fresh; excellent.

Bottle @ Beer Temple. Orange/golden color, hazy. Quickly receding off white head. Aroma’s of (sweet) fruit, herbal hops and resin, some bitterness. Flavor is bitter and lightly sweet. Fairly full bodied (made me think it was stronger than 6%). Finishes dry and bitter. Not very subtle but nice nonetheless.

bottle from ølbutikken almost clear orange, large smooth beige head. Fantastic aromatic malty, sweet malty, strong hoppy aroma, the aroma reminds me of one of my alltime favorites, ølfabrikken rug ipa, sweet solid malty base and a very strong hop profile on top of that. Fantastic. flavor is very sweet malty, white sugar, slight note of oxidation or something dusty, strong bitter hoppy aftertaste, Very sweet, very bitter hoppy, but balanced. Not as great as the aroma though. Palate is extremely soft, This one hit my soft spot for sweet ipa’s pretty solidly. Very delicious, but there is something in there i don’t quite like. Perhaps a strange hoppy flavor from one of the hops- i don’t quite recognize it..

Bottle. Pours with a clear orange to amber body with a small and not very retentive off-white head. Slowly fades to a ring. Some lacing. Aromas of malty first, nutty (maybe even husky), bready, lightly toasted. Hazelnuts, a hint of salinity. Pretzels. Minimal hop notes. A hint of esters which seems out of place. Flavors are nutty, biscuity, and again a hint of salinity. Medium bitterness that rounds to an overall neutral balance. Hop flavors are very minimal. No esters on the flavor. Some crispness and a short duration. Medium to lively bubbles, a bit high in alcohol for what I am use to from a Vienna. Seems like the water is pretty high in bicarbonate (getting some bite on the sides of the tongue). Decently dry finish. No real flaws. Decent.

22 oz bottle purchased at Texas Wine and Spirits in Carlsbad, California. Pour is a pretty cascading, mostly clear golden with a two inch light tan head. Aroma is citrus mango pineapple, lightly floral with toasted malt. Taste is the sweet malt, followed immediately with the citrus pineapple mango. Finish is mineral, slight ash and a hint of alcohol warmth. Palate is medium bodied, light carbonation, and a lingering slightly hot finish. Nice DIPA, managed the sweetness well.

1 pt. 6 fl. oz. bottle, as Left Coast’s Hop Juice Double IPA, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 9.4%. Deep golden to orange colour, moderate white head. Strong aroma of fruity and resinous hops, notes of orange marmalade. The medium sweet flavour has intense hops from start to finish, as expected. Notes of resin, pine needles and bitter oranges. Bitter and sharp aftertaste, of course - and the alcohol is not well hidden.

Viskoser und sehr süßer Hopfenantrunk, in dem der Hopfen kurz blumig, dann aber sehr rau und keinesfalls ausgewogen. Der Eindruck bleibt im Mittelteil bestehen, hier steigt der Hopfen sogar noch, eine starke Bitterkeit folgt ihr. Langer trockener und übertrieben blumiger Hopfenabgang mit kurzem alkoholischen Brennen. Zu krass und gleichzeitig disharmonisch für mich. 11/6/5/7/12/6
