2.6 Ok bruks ipa
4.0 Behaglig IPA, både som sällskapsdryck och till mat. Och till ett bra pris! 👌🏻
3.0 Ganska smaklös, men god
2.6 Canned. From local Ebeltoft Netto. 25cl sample. The aroma has light spice and floral tones. Bit copper golden coloured beer with a thin head. The taste is light bitter, light-moderate sweet, has toffee, some herbal and citric tones. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Too sweet for an ipa.
1.8 Brauðhleifur
2.5 Can from my father, bought in Germany. Bready smell with some light hops. Similar taste. Light bitterness.
3.0 Orange-brown. Not too dark. Creamy decent-sized head on it from the pour. Smell is just hoppy, plain and simple, nothing more going on there. Taste is simple hops with the very slightest hint of caramel at the start, nothing amazing but not bad. The palate is pretty empty, a bit of bitterness from the hops but sweet and bottley if anything else. Quite carbonated. Somewhere between an IPA and a standard lager. I'd say it's pretty situational, but if you want to get someone who doesn't usually like IPAs into an IPA, this'd be a good middle-ground.
4.5 Pite z butelki. Aromat przyjemny, cytrusy i słodkie owoce. W smaku podobnie. Jest goryczka ale kontrastowania słodową słodyczą, bardzo fajnie pijalne piwo
3.2 Draft - Pours an amber/orange with a lasting head. Decent pine and flower notes. Nice mouthfeel with some caramel and citrus. Decent IPA from a macro brewer.
1.2 What is this? Brewmaster? Please. This is paler than pale. A ridicolous version of an IPA. Just plain bad and highly forgetable.
2.3 On bottle. Pours deep red, with white head. Scent: Weak, little hop. Taste: Small bitterness, malts, water. Texture: Thin to oily, medium co2

3.1 This might be the closest Carlsberg has come to making something that tastes like beer.
3.9 Aroma: caramel, floral, citrus, spruce Appearance: golden, amber, clear, frothy, white foam Taste: medium sweetness, medium bitterness Palate: medium body, thin feel, average carbonation, bitter Not a bad IPA really. Easy drinking, would drink again.
3.4 From tap on Århus. Quite soft but interesting to drink. A little dark golden in color and great foam.
3.0 Great IPA on draft from Victoria Pub
2.5 Tap at Tryk. Amber colour, steady beige head and lace. Woody, grassy nose. Light-bodied. Wood, grass in the flavour. Not much fruityness. Crap macro ipa.
0.8 Probably the worst IPA I ever tasted.
1.9 Tastes and looks like a lager. Poor and bland for an "IPA".
2.0 Juni18: mørk gyllen. Lavt skum. Dufter malt og søt citrus. Smaker karamell med lett appelsin i ettersmak. Overraskende lite duft og smak. IPA? tja. Ikke verdt de 5kr boksen på CL.
3.5 Very nice light IPA, not as bitter as many other IPA's, also added sweetness making it a great pairing with food. Earlier Rating: 5/28/2018 Total Score: 3.5
2.6 Pours cloudy amber with low white head. Aroma of malt, citrus, pine. Taste is malty sweet with just a hint of bitterness in the finish. Light and smooth body with soft carbonation. Not a complete train wreck.
2.3 44cl Flasche. Kupferfarbenes Bier, luftig flüchtiger Schaum. Es riecht nach Blumenseife. Im Geschmack auch Blumen, Gras und etwas stumpfer Hopfen. Leicht malzig. Für mich zu flach. Im Abgang wirds metallisch, fast schon Dosenaroma, es fehlt Tiefe und bittere Noten.
