Bottled (thanks Papsoe!). Pale golden colour with small white head. Aroma is fruity and grassy hops along with not much else. Flavour is dry grassyness along with fruits and dry wood.
Bottle 0,5 l. Thanks to all involved for the bottle - and Rune for the transport. Pale golden colored. A small creamy head. Extremely hoppy aroma. Extremely bitter but surprisingly well rounded. A lot of sediments.
500ml sampled at a rating session in Tromsø. Thanks to Yngwie and VANØ for the bottle. (bb.10.09.2007, batch 198(?)). Low-level foam over a hazy amber body. Tangy hops to the notes. With 70 IBU the flavour offers a brimful of zesty hops. Living bitter aftertaste that lingers on and on - until the next day. Pity that this well bodied ale has retired (21.11.2007).
Bottled. Muddy dark yellow. Light grapefruit aroma. Medium dry with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Neither the hop aroma or the bitterness are as obvious as I thought, but it’s still bitter of course.. Some light cookie malt comes through.
Bottle. Unclear orange color with a small fair lacing mostly lasing white head. Aroma is moderate hoppy, citrus, perfume, light malty, caramel. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, with a nice dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. ;o)
Cloudy orange color, short head. Aroma of hop, grapefruit, some caramel. Quite bitter taste, soft body though, fruity. Nice stuff.
I was surprised at this beer. I thought with the cranked up IBUs it would be more bitter, but extra malt must have been added compared to the Pale Ale as it was less bitter and had a fuller body. Overall, I still think the pale ale has better character.
Pale orange-ochre beer with slight haze; yellow-orange tinted small head. End of bottle fully opaque and UFO-ridden. Hops (noble -) - and ivy. Several mild green herbs (laurel, savory, etc.) Bit of sulphur too. Sulphury & grapey hops, quite dry. Just a hint at sweetness, hay and white bread. Finishes again with full hopflavour and resin. Rather light body, slight slickness, not empty nor watery. Nice hoppy pale ale; nothing spectacular, but easy drinkable, pleasing. Big thanks, Martin E.
