Haand Bryggeriet Dobbel dose IPA - Norway

Who likes head? Well I do, it is satisfying to pour a beer that has an obvious yeasty sediment (esters) in the bottle that give this reaction. This beer just kept on giving more head continuing to bead in the glass, check out the bottle in the photo!

Pours a cloudy orange amber with a pronounced citrus hop nose. The brewer has used a variety of hops to give both bitterness and aroma. Apparently it is overloaded with dry hops in the aging tank to add flavour and aroma. There is also a noticeable maltiness in the mid palate.

It is hardly surprising that this IPA would travel so well from Norway to Australia, that is what IPA's are supposed to do.

This is my first Norwegian beer and I am impressed.

SCORE 4.3
