Another great product from this brewery. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with an off-white foamy head, decent retention and lots of soapy lace. Lots of sediments floating all-over as well. Aromas of fresh hop at first, but seems to be taken over by the alcohol, caramel warmth with some notes of fruits (orange, peach). Good, almost full body, with some nice mild dryness in the finish, but a better wetness all-the-way, making this one well-balanced. Easy to drink, with the hop in the taste, but not overdone. Grapefruit, malt and hints of toffee. Nice citrus zest in the aftertaste.

The beer pours a hazed golden orange with a quarter inch tan coloured head. The aroma is citrusy hops, pine, light fruit, and grainy malt. Mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied, creamy, with medium carbonation. The flavour is grapefruity hops, some tart fruitiness, and excessively bitter. Decent enough beer but I'll not be trying it again.

Bottle; Pours a cloudy orange-amber in the glass with a tight-pored off white 2 finger cap....good retention, laces the glass well. Moderate carbonation, medium bodied. Aroma is pungent - floral citrusy lots of fruity esters wonderful nose to this. Flavor starts out almost sweet with big chewy caramelized malts in front then almost instant balance with hop bittering, mid palate there is some complexity with apricots, grapefruit and malts jut under the bittering hops....finish is long drying and increasingly bitter to s nice hoppy bite at the end. Helluva fine 2XIPA.

Hoppy aroma has a strong, sharp, slightly dusty fruity overtone. Pours a dark, hazy, coppery amber with a fairly thick and fluffy buff head. Flavor is quite hoppy and fruity, nothing special but still enjoyable. Texture has average body and good fizz. If not the best Imperial IPA I've had, still a decent one.

Got it from Beermongers Portland. Really hop with it, a hop explosion for sure. Slightly sour malt profile coupled with earthy and piney hops. Quite fruity too, really a fun beer, big and bitter but in a friendly earthy way. Sweet orange shows up faintly here and there. Extremely bitter for sure... I had gone off hops for a while there, but in the last week I am back on them in a big way, really digging how bitter this beer is, and despite all that I find it quite easy drinking. I like that the malts are round and big but not bready or heavy. If I had to draw a food like comparison to the malts it would have to be ginger cookies. I could see chicken marinated in this beer being ridiculously good!! Nonge nearly never fails me (dark horizon III aside), really happy again. I also love the half litre bottle size. Not too little, not too much, not so much I am scared to open a second.

This poured a dark orange color with a white head. The aroma contains some citrus, herbal notes, caramel, and perfume. The flavor is slightly bitter with a good malt presence. Some oranges and lemons show up. Aftertaste is somewhat bitter. Overall a good beer.

big fluffy head, orange body. pretty well balance though the hops are the main player. citrus and orange peel, nutty malts in the background. pretty good, but a little too much malt/bitterness, not enough hops.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8.5%. This was originally the winner beer of the Norwegian Home Brewing Championship 2010, and it has been reported that Russian River Pliny the Elder was the inspiration for the recipe. Cloudy brownish colour, big and lasting off-white head. Very nice aroma of piny and fruity American hops (Columbus, Centennial and Simcoe). The flavour is first fruity and refreshing, then a massive hoppy and nearly medicinal bitterness sets in (bordering on "overkill"), and lasts through the long aftertaste. One for the hardcore hopheads.
