3.2 Heerlijke double ipa. Vrij droog, maar kruidig, bitter en rijk. Citrus. Sterk in alcohol maar lekker.
3.9 Bottle shared with JMD on board Fridtjofen 01.07.19. Hazy orange. Diminishing beige head. Sweet aroma of butterscotch, honey and heather. Equally sweet taste of butterscotch, Sevilla marmalade, mandarins and dried papaya. Solid bitterness.
3.9 0,33 flaske fra De Bierkoning, delt med medbrygger Ovesen etter at vi har laget ny oppskrift: lett uklar dyp gyllen med fint skum som varer hele dagen. Fyldig aroma og enda fyldigere smak av karameller, røde bær, sommerblomster, honning, engelsk appelsinmarmelade og mild citrus. Lekre saker fra første til siste dråpe.
3.7 Pours hazy amber with small white head. Malts, orange, citrus, grass, caramel, orange peel. Medium body and average carbonation. Solid IIPA with warming but well hidden alcohol.
4.0 Orange-bernstein, schöne Krone, angenehm karbonisiert. Grasig-blumige Nase, im Mittelteil kommen kräuterig-harzige Hopfennoten dazu, anhenehme Malzsüße rundet die Prozente gut ab. Top.
4.3 Tap @ Little Delirium, Amsterdam IV 2019. Geweldig zoet hoppig biertje met een fruitige twist. Zacht maar met een stevige zoete bitter.Sterk en zoet van smaak met een fruitig hoppige geuren. Licht geel diffuus met witte schuimkraag :-) Mooie IPA melange van fruitig hoppig zoet met een bittertje. Zelfs in de Rerate blijft het na vele geproefde DIPA's nog steeds een knap gemaakt brouwsel.

2.4 330mL bottle, pours a filthy, cliudy dark orangey brown with a medium beige head. Nose smells rather oxidized, with cardboard, light earthy hops, and toasted bready malt. Flavour confirms the nose, with earthy hops, toasted caramel bready malt, and cardboard. Not sure this was ever that great fresh, but shame on the Bulgarian bottle shop selling this old shit to me.

Lingering dried fruity end with warming alcohol. Well bodied. Nice, a bit heavy to drink though. (Shared with Leif, hotel room, Amsterdam 10.09.2018).

Taste is medium+ sweet malt and caramel, orange hard candy, citrus and some fruity medium hops and bitterness, dry finish, bit buttery notes. Medium bodied, soft+ carbonation, oily. Oxidized and way past it's prime, guess that's to blame on supermarket handling... (bottle)
3.4 Buddel: Deep golden, hazy, lively carbonation, bigger loose but stable off-white head; sweet-bitter citrussy-fruity nose with traces of malt and cough-syrup; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, both tart and soft; lingering robust bitter and sweet finish with malt, lemony hops and a tinge of warmjng booze.
