3.0 33 cl bottle - bbd = 21/06/16 Just a nice double ipa (dipa), ideal to combine with food .

3.2 Golden colour with thin head. Aroma is strong with caramel malts as is the flavour. A bit heavy and syrupy feeling. Hss a slightly medicinal edge to it.

4.5 Pours hazy, darker shade of amber and topped with emdium small, but lasting off-white head. Lovely hoppy nose, fruity driven with lots of citrusy grapefruit and some sweet fruits, a bit of elderflower as well. Creamy body with very pleasant fruity sweetness in the start, a bit of malt backbone as well. Gentle bitterness with short and mild aftertaste. A bit peppery way on the tip of teh tongue. Sticky and thick feel. Great example, with completely hidden alcohol.

3.8 Bottle. Pours a clear amber beer with a thin and quickly disappearing off white head on top. Aroma of raisins, malts, sweet alcohol, caramel and darker hoppy notes. Flavor is sweet and juicy, boozy, malty, fairly flat, red fruits and mild hops. Aftertaste is quite long and sweet. Nice one.

3.8 31st January 2017 Hazy orange - gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is smooth with good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, light creamy sweetness. The Nelson here is quite tangerine, the normal grapey character plays second fiddle. Little red berries. Floral tangerine and blood orange. Mild tangy bitterness. Light finish. Pretty drinkable.

3.7 Bottle at home. Pours clear hazy orange. Medium foam. Smells like resin, citrus, malts, dankness. Tastes like tropical fruits, resin, grapefruit, sweet makts, cellar walls. Medium carbonation. Nice bitterness. I can taste the Nelson. Yummy. Excellent.

3.9 Frisch vom Hahn im Muted Horn. Klares Altgold im Glas. Körperreich wie ein Tripel. Wunderbar.... Die 75 IBUs sind wohl in Tallinn geblieben?

4.1 Bottle at home. Deep amber colour, small white head. Noseis fruity, tropical. Taste is also tropial, light peach light bitterness. Refreshing and easygoing. Nice DIPA, and I still love Nelson Sauvin

4.2 oh, Nelson Sauvin is my favourite hop... the aroma is fruity and hoppy with hints of sweet orange, grapefruit, key lime, pine and spicy herbs... the taste is fruity and malty with notes of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, pine needles, key lime, lemon peel and spicy grasses... sweet, bitter and dry aftertaste...

3.5 Murky dark amber color with off-white head. Aroma has light butter and caramel notes with some candied orange and resiny hops on top. Taste starts with the candied orange, slightly sweet, but gets more bitter and resiny towards the finish. Medium plus body, quite smooth on the palate but there is also a drying alcohol note on the aftertaste. Slightly boozy but overall it’s a decent DIPA.

3.0 Strasznie dziwne. Dość słodkie, dużo przypalanki cukrowej i słodkich czerwonych winogron. Lekko alkoholowe. Goryczka owocowa, mocna, fajna.

3.9 caramel/copper color with a thick head. sweet tangerine flavor with a little pepper, maybe a little bull gum. spicy after taste. a solid double IPA.

3.6 0.33 L bottle from NickD717, 12/6/16. My first Estonian tick, thanks Nick! Mostly clear copper color with a small head and mild, spotty lace. Orange is strong on the aroma with lots of caramel, as well as some herbal and pine notes. Tastes clean and bitter early getting into a stong sticky caramel through the mid-palate to close. Medium-full bodied. The feel is both sticky and dry. Pretty solid beer Nick, hopefully I didn’t score this low enough that I now have to quit my day job and become a clown. Not really a fan of clowns, and I’m pretty sure I’d make for a really shitty clown.
