Amager Bryghus "Gluttony" Double IPA - Denmark (9.4% ABV)

Amager have brewed this Double IPA as part of their "Sinner" series of beers, sins to be celebrated (Gluttony & Lust). I love the label with the greedy hop bellied gluttonous character.

Brewed with tons of hop (Hercules, Citra, Simcoe, Centennial, Amarillo and Sorachi-Ace), malted with Pilsener, Pale and Munich Malts and fermented with American ale Yeast, I was expecting a big flavoursome beer.

It pours a dark cloudy amber with only a small head, the Ale continued to lace in the glass. It gives a powerful citrus fruit hop aroma on pouring and from the glass. It has a fruity sweetness in the mouth and a bitter finish (without a dry pucker). A truly hop driven beer with lots of citrus, pine & passionfruit with subtle bittering. A very good double IPA packed with hop flavour.
