The Sinner Series - Envy
Amager Bryghus

Copenhagen 2/9 2015. 50 cl bottle from Gunnar Madsens Vinhandel, Østerbrogade, Kbh. Ø. A woman full of envy of people with functioning umbrellas on the label.

Pours slightly hazy yellow with a white head. Stable. Settles as a 0,5 cm thick layer of foam. Moderate lacing.

Aroma og exotic sweet fruit mingling with a sharp scent of citrus fruit. Lots of American hops. Pineapple and peach. Grapefruit and lemon.

Fairly strong carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lively and tingling texture.

Flavor is pleasantly bitter. Grapefruit and acidic citrus fruit. Only a light sweetness to balance things. Long aftertaste with a semi-dry finish.

Pleasant and easily drinkable IPA. And you do not need the umbrella with the dry finish.

 

 

 

From Cervezalandia. In Teku glass. Watching Los Soprano 6x17, with popcorn. Very resinous, with earthy notes and a great feeling, specially as warms up, when also becomes more tasty and aromatic

Bottle into a New Belgium snifter. Vibrant, hazy golden in appearance topped with about a finger's width of bubbly, crunchy white foam. Tons of carbonation bubbles hug the glass wall. Sweet malt, hop resin, mango, grapefruit, peaches, and light citrus comprise the aroma. Deceptively so, as there is a big hop bitterness up front on the taste, which mellows out enough for notes of sweet, bready malt, grapefruit, citrus, peaches, mango, and a light earthiness to shine through. Still pretty darn bitter throughout the finish and into the aftertaste. Dry on the back end, and well carbonated. The mouthfeel is light, poppy, and a bit watery.

Overall, very good. A little underrated in my opinion. For the price tag, this one is a decent buy.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to GRG1313 for sharing this one at mrbubbler's tasting.

Pours a hazy gold with a foamy off-white head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of citrus fruit, citrus zest, floral, and slight cardboard aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest, floral, and slight cardboard flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is still hoppy, but you can definitely make out some oxidation in this one.

Serving type: bottle.

 

A: The beer is slightly hazy dark golden yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that died down, leaving a large patch of bubbles on the surface, a collar around the edge, and some lacing running down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose along with notes of piney hops and faint bits of caramel malts.
T: As in the smell, the taste is dominated by flavors of bitter grapefruit rinds along with stronger notes of pine resin. There are hints of the underlying caramel malts and the hops contribute a moderate amount of bitterness, which seems to become a little stronger as the beer warms up and particularly linger through the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. The piney hops lend some dryness to the finish.
O: The hops in this IPA seemed to hold up well on its trip across the Atlantic as the beer is rather bitter and will make your mouth pucker.

Serving type: bottle

 

Pours a cloudy, golden color. 1/4 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of strong hops, resin, pine, alcohol, and a hint of sugar. Fits the style of an American IPA. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of strong hops, pine, alcohol, hint of sugar, and resin. Overall, good appearance, strong aroma, strong body, and average feel.

 

 

Poured from a bottle into an imperial pint glass

A - Deep honey color, beautiful creamy cap, lacing lasts like impressionism.
S - Honey, tropical fruit, lots of delicate floral fruits. Grapefruit, passion fruit and a hint of lemon.
T - Fabulous fruits a hint of caramel in the background, honey comb is the thread that keeps them all together.
M - Thick, with strong lingering honey, fruit continues to delight, A wonderful body that deserves all the time to enjoy.
O - Amager clearly demonstrate that the west coast style can be interpreted as a lingering tropical beauty. The honey notes
are a hidden delight.
A real treat.
