North Bridge Extreme
Poured from a 20.3oz bottle into two pint glasses. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist! Listed on the bottle as 9.5%abv. A: Pours a clear ruby-orange color with two fingers of creamy, light orange head. As the head recedes it leaves thick rings and sheets of sticky lace. S: Big citrus and pine aromas along with some lightly toasted malt, sweet caramel, a whiff of alcohol, and freshly squeezed orange and/or grapefruit. T: Spicy pine and citrus hops dominate this along with some excellent balancing malt. M: Bitter, spicy, and peppery hops. The malt adds some smoothness and sweetness but doesn't drown out the fresh picked hop flavors. Very oily. D: This is excellent. The alcohol asserts itself as it comes up to temp and we felt our cheeks and stomachs begin to warm. Keep the Danish beers coming Shelton Bros!
