Bottle from Olbutikken, Copenhagen. Shared with Mes&Sim. Golden/bronze pour with a slight off white head. Aroma had some earthy hop and citrus but also something very weird lurking that I can only describe as soiled sawdust at the bottom of a hamsters cage in a musty old pet shop. Errr yeah honest... The sweet malt in the flavour dominated proceedings a little too much and the anticipated hopfest never materialised which was a pity. Possibly not the freshest bottle though, so need to get out to Del Mar and grab a bottle or 2 with a Pizza at Oggis. Pretty sure the rate would be much higher then !

650 ml bottle. Dim golden body with a big off-white head. Aroma is really strong pine with citric fruit and grass. Flavor is fruity, grapefruit, pine, rather bitter and some yeast. Quite straightforward DIPA but well made.

Bottle, 22oz. A slightly unclear beer, dark orange beer with a small, off-white head. Fruity nose with loads of pine cones, lemon peel and resins. A bit sugary maybe. Malty sweet base that should be more evident. Resins, fruits, lemon peel and fruityness too. Full-bodied and nicely bitter. Lasting finish. A wonderful beer, but it’s sort of one-tracked. Too warming too I think. But it’s nice and repeatable. 110301

Bomber from Taylor’s Market in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark brown/black with a big frothy tan head. Nice hop aroma. Seems like resin/pine. Tastes more like grapefruit though, and there’s a lot of dark roast malt - much more than in many "black" IPAs. The finish is like a bitter pine hopped stout. Grapefruit - pine - so many taste buds, so little talent. Think it’s resin now. Very good ale.

0.65l bottle @ Henrik, Bergen shared with ClubGonzo. Pours a semi hazy yellow/golden body with a fading just off-white bubbly head. Nice and strong DIPA aromas with a decent amount of sweet and fruity peaches, some liquorish, pines, citrus with a twist, alcohol and flower-leaves. Medium-bodied and medium carbonated. This one gives me a typical west coast DIPA mouthfeeling of sticky and tingling warming alcohol combined with heavy pines. Stingy and peppery with quite a bitter ending.
