Ølfabrikken 100 gram IPA

Picked this up on an impulse and was very happy with it (although it is a bit expensive). Pours a light amber/orange with thick creamy head. Not sure what to expect from a Danish IPA but was surprised at how similar it was to some of the best American IPAs. Strong hop presence in aroma and taste--grapefruity, piney and plenty bitter. Excellent.

I picked this one up the other night and decided to pop it today on my day off. Aroma on this brew is very big and full of pine and citrus malt with some grapefruit and some lemon coming through with tons of bitterness and stickiness. Appearance is a hazy reddish-copper with some orange hues with a medium-sized head on top that is off-white and fuzzy and leaves creamy lacing on the glass. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with some sticky and malty complexity as well as bitter balance with a palate that is a bit dry and sticky with some chewiness. Flavor is full of bitterness with some grapefruit and pine needles with an aftertaste that is full of dried-floral overtones and some sweetness with a finish that is mostly dry and very sticky but very fine. Overall, an interesting take by a Scandinavian brewer on the American phenomenon of IIPA's and a very good brew for sure.

Pours with an amber body with orange highlights topped by a thick head with lots of lacing. The aroma is slightly sweet yet full of alcohol esters and bitter notes. Some floral and medicinal notes show through. The flavor is full of alcohol esters with a piney bitterness and a chemical and medicinal note as well as, for lack of a better word, ass. Full bodied, oil and warming.

Pours with a frothy, initially fat-two-finger thick, tan colored head. The beer is a soft reddish amber color, but shows a bright copper hue when held up to the light. The aroma is sticky with hop character; initially sweet citrus & fruit notes are dominant but there is a touch of sharper, slightly herbal notes at times too. This smells of orange blossom nectar, honey citrus jam, apricots, huge lychee, pineapple and peach. At times, after my nose has had some time to adjust, I get some biscuit like malt character along with the pine & herbal notes. Really though the hop derived, sweet citrus and fruit notes dominated this aroma, which is fairly smooth for such a hoppy beer.

Fairly sweet, which is coupled with the substantial fruity hop character. The beer finishes with a sharp, strangely herbal note that starts out in the middle; This note is like chewing an a hop vine, sort of menthol like, pine tar evoking, extremely green, with an astringent, aggressive edge to it and is almost vegetal. The finish is definitely a bit weird. This hop note couples with a solid bitterness in the finish. This beer is not overly bitter though as there is a substantial enough malt character to carry all the hops. The beer is not too heavy though, the body manages to stay out of Barley wine territory unlike some examples of the style. The hop character is clearly the dominant character here; fresh, juicy, up front flavors of candied orange peel, lychee, apricot, juicy fruit and a touch of berry notes.

If it wasn't for that really distinct, green off-flavor towards the finish, this would be a great example of a Double IPA. The flavor just can't seem to shake it though and it really can ruin my enjoyment of this brew. It does seem to mellow a bit after working on this brew for the last 45 minutes or so.

Poured a redish color wiht small head and almost no lacing. Aroma was very much like tea bags and floral. Flavor was the same expected more citrus then i got. Okay at best.

Pours a copper honey color w/ a full, semi creamy froth. Superb head retention w/ a lasting full lace. Strong aromas of creamy hop chards and meaty caramel. Full nectar w/ mellow residual effers crating a full, rich, creamy texture. This brew is decadent. Mouth watering citrus rind and fat carmel malts play off eachother like a killer handball tourney. A moderate sweetness w/ nuances of popsickle sugars, meaty grapefuit, tangy tropicals, herbs, new leather, and a pinch of sodium. The finsh is long w/ sweet citrus caramel. Watch out Yule Smith. Great balance. Decadent flavor play. Highly recommended.

22oz Bottle from SL. Pour was imperial red-like, deep amber, ok initial head, but nothing impressive, faded quickly, lacing was weak splotchy. The aroma was tea bags, caramel, floral piney hops. The flavor followed the aroma dead on, darned malty, slight salty notes. Mouthfeel was full and hearty. A decent dIPA, but my pants are still on.

Deep apple cider color with some head and lacing. Aroma of caramel and flowers. Flavor was heavy floral hops and caramel...mild level of bitterness. Well balanced IPA. Thanks to eaglefan538 for sharing.

Pours out in a hazy orange xolour with a sticky white head. Big hoppy and resiny aroma of pine-needles and mild grapefruit. Full-bodied with strong, almost sticky notes of pine-needles, graoefruit and alcohol. Long oily finish if massive hops of piines and grapefruit. Truely a hop fix.

Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is grassy and dry hops and some alcohol. Flavour is strong hops, grass and some slight fruits, which balance the dryness up. Wellmade double IPA.
