Sample (had as Christiania Orange Haze V2, thanks fonefan!). Hazy orangeish yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, nectary and some wooden tones. Flavour is fruity, some wooden, mild nectary and some spruce tips. A wee bit of hopburn.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some toffee and mild nectary tones. Flavour is fruity, some strawberries and nectar. Smooth to drink and actually very nice.

Draft. An unclear golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of hemp, straw, lime, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hemp, hops, straw, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Fresh, piney, citrusy nose. Medium body, a dry fruitiness with an almost perfumy pineyness. Bitter finish. Lovely. 160123

West Coast IPA by a microbrewery set up in the heart of Freetown Christiania, the famous hippie commune in the middle of Copenhagen, installed on former military grounds in 1971 and still a living attraction for hippies, buccaneers, weed smokers and tourists alike. The brewery was set up in little more than a shed but looked professional enough; too bad you have to drink everything straight from the can (for safety reasons – which I can relate to in this particular environment, but still). Still, with some twists and turns, I managed to find out that this West Coast IPA had a moussy, yellowish off-white, slowly opening but generally well-retaining, membrane-lacing head and darkish orange blonde robe (the latter description is to be taken with a pinch of salt, as this is obviously very hard to determine when you have to drink from a can). Aroma of marijuana (effectively used here – not surprising seen the context – but also from hops), toasted onions, dried thyme, roasted peanuts, white pepper, Graham crackers, wormwood leaves, pine resin, grapefruit peel. Cleanly fruity onset, some unripe apricot and persimmon, grapefruity hoppiness noticeable from the start, fizzy carbonation but nowhere harshly stinging; smooth, oily, full mouthfeel. Dryish toasty and cracker-like malts with a peanutty core, strongly bittered by a generous dose of grapefruity, leafy, oniony, wormwood hoppiness, adding notes of pine resin, pink peppercorns, tonic water and bitter herbs, resinous and long. Qualifies fully as a robust, unforgivingly bitter (128 IBU!), old school West Coast IPA – even more so than many others intended as such these days – so I guess my suspicions were unfounded: this Christiania brewery is technically very accomplished. The marijuana, or just hemp in this case, is probably unnecessary in their other beers, but in a West Coast IPA it only helps to accentuate the weediness and resinous qualities of the hops – so well done, one I might even revisit when in Copenhagen again, in spite of that whole Christiania not quite being my favourite neighbourhood there…

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque orangey golden with a rough, white head. Orangey nose if a little muted. Medium body, sweet fruitiness and a subdued bitterness. God body but lacks on the aroma side. 080822
