Smell was the clear star here, with classic amber ale biscuit base supporting the crazy array of tropical fruits, some grains and dank grass. Taste was more muddled, with the caramel malts and grains taking more of a lead, cutting into the flavors from the smell. Weird hopped and grainy feel but not bad. Solid change up in a style without much diversity

On tap at Fermentoren Copenhagen, post-CBC. Orange pour with an off-white head. Dank, with notes of caramel, funky cheese, orange and subtle tropical fruit.

500ml bottle. More oddly creepy label art from this brewery, but I do like the "The cat is dead, long live the cat" sentiment in Danish, though. Made with 'fantastic' Simcoe hops, of course.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium reddish amber hue, with three fingers of puffy, tightly foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some pockmarked painted lace around the glass as it slowly sinks way, very much like melting ice cream.

It smells of grainy, biscuity caramel malt, bitter tropical fruit - grapefruit, guava, Asian pear, and a touch of kiwi - a pithy pine needle astringency, and some further herbal, weedy hop notes. The taste is a sort of muddled, but still bitter grocery store fruitiness, forest floor detritus, subdued bready caramel malt, and a mild, indistinct spiciness, likely hop-borne, but it's hard to tell.

The carbonation is a bit charged at first, but slowly releases as things progress, the body an adequate medium weight, and kind of thin in its smoothness. It finishes just off-dry, the crackery malt sort of overrun by the lingering fruity, green herbal hops.

A nicely hoppy red ale, though not really all that crisp, which may be an unfair expectation, but still. I'm not sure if this is single-hopped with just the Simcoe, but the complexity of the bitterness is rather pleasant, especially for a lower ABV offering. Worthy of a go, if only for its strange outer coat, and more agreeably tasty inner one.

Recently stumbled across my notes from The Festival 2012. Lets do this!

A - Poured a very nice dark amber hue with a solid off white head, two fingers or so, that fades nice and slow.

S - Ohhh yah. Aromas of MASSIVE tropical fruit assault, lychee, pear, grapefruit, passionfruit, and my favourite, peach!

T - Taste, unfortunately, is not nearly as amped up as the nose, but still good none the less. Solid hop notes, not nearly as fruity with flashes of stonefruits, pine, and some nice sweet lychee notes.

M - Mouthfeel is sold, a touch higher carbonated than I like.

O - Overall, a solid offering from Beer Here. Wish this was readily on the shelf!

Pours a reddish amber, thin head. Lace is OK. Looks alright.

Smells hoppy. Grapefruit, resin, pine, some green apple. A little meek, smells a bit like watered down hop juice. Nice, but underdone.

Tastes similar. No real body, but hops are dominant. Citric, piney, getting resinous towards the end. Reminds me a little of Brewdog Nanny State, in that it's heavy on hops to the point where it could be really nice with a bigger body, but there's just not enough malt there to pad or balance the hop pull. Decent flavours, but off kilter.

Thin body, then so much hop pull and dry. Meh.

A bit too light, flavour becomes overpowering. Potential there but it would then be a bigger beer. Needs to be toned down a bit to make it suitable for 4.7% I guess.
