65 cl bottle. Batch 01: bottled 06/2012, 9%.
Aroma is quite similar to sheets out of the washing machine. Also some resin and caramel malt. Flavour has lots of resin, some hops and vanilla. Also distant woody notes. Too sweet but decent anyway. I like the resiny notes here.

650ml bottle. Minimally cloudy dark amber/copper colour with average, firm, frothy to creamy, lasting, fairly lacing, off-white head. Slightly spicy and heavy citric aroma, caramel malty basis with muggy touch. Taste is moderately sweet caramel malty, citrussy, minimally biting constant bitter hoppy note with a herbal touch. Not overly complex, virtually monotonous in taste, but a well balanced beer.

Hopfiger, schwer würziger Start. Dunkle, etwas klebrige Malznoten, Kräuter, der Hopfen gleibt konstant. Vollmundig, wenig süffig. Süß karamellig, konstant wie flüssiger Hopfen. Schokoladiges Finish. Ein gutes und intensives Bier, das durch seine Harmonie besticht. 9/11/9/12/11/13

22 oz. bottle labeled as Cambridge Audacity of Hops. Snifter shows a cloudy, unclear golden color. Great head retention. Lots of lace. Nose is an amazing blend of juicy hops and some Belgian yeast. Taste is very much the same with an excellent balance of big wet hops and malt. Citrus and pine notes. Nice fuller body without a whole lot of bitterness. But don’t let that fool you…. Plenty of hops flavors. This was an enjoyable brew for me.
