Tootjainfo: "Didrik Crappe was a Copenhagen lad who set sail to Tranquebar in the early 19th Century to establish a herring meal factory in this exotic Danish colony. He suffered terribly from indigestion because of his mother’s home cooking, esp. her extremely spicy chicken curries that he was forced to eat several times a week. Some historians maintain that the whole business of founding a herring meal factory was just an excuse to get away from his mother’s pots and pans. There is a legend saying that Didrik posted himself in the bow of the clipper carrying him away from his beloved hometown, and exclaimed "No more rice and curry for this fair Dane!" But the story has a happy end. Thanks to the fine lager brewed locally in Tranquebar, Didrik’s indigestion was cured, and in fact he soon established his own brewery out there, creating a beer so tasty that rumors of it flew all the way back to Denmark. Perhaps the herring meal was the secret ingredient that distinguished Didrik’s brew from all others. Anyhow, soon clippers carrying nothing but barrels of his product were leaving Tranquebar for Copenhagen every day of the week. Thus the Indian Pale Lager was born.

A crisp and dry Pale Lager with a base of only pilsener malts. Hopped – and dry-hopped – with Amarillo, Cascade and Citra. No rice or curry was added."

Keskmist kasvu lihtne pudel, pudelisildil kuhi kollast karrit :) Sentimeetripaksune hõre vahukiht kaob üsna kiirelt, kuid jätab üllatuslikult tugeva vahupitsi klaasiseintele. Õlle värvus - kirkalt valkjaskuldne. Aroom rõõmustab humalasõpru sahmaka vihmajärgse kargusega, mis meenutab värskeltpressitud mandariinimahla ja riivitud sidrunikoort.

Esmamekk on keskmise kehaga ja naksakalt magus-mõrkjas.  Keskmaitse on tihedapoolselt puuviljane, tsitruste ja meloni nootidega. Lõppmaitse keerab seda puuviljast joont veelgi kraadi jõulisemaks ... jäädes siiski laagerõllena hillitsetuks. Järelmaitse mõjub kui värskuse kaskaad, mahlane ja kärtsakas tulv toob naeratuse palgeile ja rõõmustab maksa mitmel moel :)

Keskmise kehaga, nõrgalt karboniseeritud paletiga, magusakas-mõrkjas-hapukas-vürtsika buketiga, oivalises maitsetasakaalus ÜBERRÜÜBE! Harva saab laagerõlledest, eriti veel premiumklassi omadest sellise positiivse elamuse!! Vat seda tuleks tuua näiteks kõigile masstootjaile, et kuidas saab teha zuuurepärast kergelt joodavat, aga maitseküllast laagerõlut.
