Bottle shared at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks a lot Nir A. for this bottle! Clear golden with a white head. Great hoppy aroma full of tropical fruits and citrus. Lovely dry hoppy flavor full of tropical fruits, a bit of grapefruit and a lingering bitter finish. Medium-bodied. A lovely refreshing IPA, very easy-drinking.

Bottle, courtesy of KnutAlbert. It’s a clear, yellow-golden beer topped by a minimal-sized off-white head. The aroma is weak and fruity, with flower notes and orange zest. The flavor has some pale malts in the back, with orange zest, flowers and a little bitterness. Medium body, dry and nicely carbonated. Some faint bitterness in the finish. Tasteful and quenching, but I don’t think it’s a beer I’d buy again. 121130

Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of hops, fruity, mint, pineapple, grapefruit, pine, tropical fruits. Lots of hops in the nose. Bitter flavour, quite sweet, sweet malts and hops. Bitter finish, some lingering malty sweetness, grapefruit and pineapple.
Compared in a tasting of three fresh double IPAs, head to head with a fresh Pliny the Elder and De Dochter van de Korenaar Extase, all bottled in April 2013. The Úlfur Úlfur was the sweetest one, with perhaps the best fruity nose. Surprised to say that there was no clear winner, I was maybe expecting the Pliny blowing the others away, but the other two stood their ground and shone brilliantly. Great beers!
(From 33cL bottle shared with friends @ De Dochter van de Korenaar brewery. Thanks for arranging this one for me, Haukur!!)
