Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours orange gold with a creamy off-white head. Unusual citrusy aroma. There’s a light hint of pepper. Med body. It’s rather fruity, mildly something else, and also arguably some pepper, and it’s reasonably bitter.

28/11/2011 330ml bottle. Dorata, spenta, riflessi ambrati, schiuma pannosa, biancastra, poco abbondante e poco persistente. Aroma variegato di malto e luppolo, non molto eccitante, ma piuttosto persistente. In bocca ha un attacco dolciastro, cui segue un finale appena luppolato. Non così complessa come mi aspettavo. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Così così.

28/11/2011 330ml bottle. Ambrata, con riflessi color miele, leggermente spenta, buona schiuma morbida e pannosa, bianca, abbastanza persistente. Naso pungente, luppolo agrumato, lieviti, il pepe nero si percepisce nettamente. In bocca è ben bilanciata, facile da bere, amara decisa ma non aggressiva, gradevolissima e dal retrogusto molto particolare. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Ottima IPA.

Bottle. Pours cloudy gold. Fluffy white head. Nose/taste of light pepper, pink grapefruit, hops and pineapple. Pepper comes out much more in the taste but remains well balanced. Light and delicate on the palate. Mild malt presence.

Medium offwhite head. Clear deep red body with visible particles. Wooden roasty caramel aroma with resiny lacquer and spice notes. Dry-sweet and faintly acidic roasty caramelly and chocolatey taste with spicy resiny earthy notes. Fullish body. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish resiny citric roasty aftertaste with earthy caramel and wood notes. Some spice and licorice notes, too. Really nice. Rich, complex, and full-flavoured, yet balanced and harmonic. An impressive beer. (0.75l bottle, Håndverkerstuene, Oslo. Bottle says 5.8%.)

Bottle at home in London, bought in Roma. Pours cloudy gold with an enormous, fluffy, white head. There is some floral note in the aroma, along with a bit of lightly toasted malts, some fine grassy hops. Flavor is nice, very clean, some dry grass and earth, subtle pine and resin, understated spices. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Finish has just a nip of warmth, quite earthy with neutered pepper, some more grass, and just enough malt presence to offset the myriad hops. An interesting and good beer, haven’t had many like it that I can recall.

Bottle, 75cl, at Haandverkerstuene. It’s almost clear in the glass, dark amber in color and with a small, off-white head. Spiced and herbal nose with a pleasant maltyness and some cellar and alcohol. Nice bitterness in the flavor, along with herbs and spices. Malty and slightly warming from the alcohol, which sort of puzzles me. Might be some strange form of smoke I’m detecting. Long finish with herbs and bitterness. A tasteful beer that drinks easily. 110211
