Tootjainfo: "English: Once Amager Bryghus and Trillium Brewing Co. had decided to do a beer together, some investigative brewer research started on both sides of the Atlantic. Trillium main man Jean Claude Tetreault (JC) came across the name of an old Danish type of bread called “Sigtebrød”, and we decided to aim for a beer with mostly the same ingredients as in this old style of bread. However, we wouldn’t be Amager if we didn’t dig a little deeper into the matter. It appears that the word “sigte” – in English “to aim” - can be taken back to the Viking era, where a “Sigtebrød” would be baked very hard as a substitute for a traditional longbow in areas where wood was scarce or even absent. After the victorious battle the Viking could then toast their bread bow on a traditional Anglo Saxon toaster. Illustrations of this bread bow have been found in several places in Ireland and Scotland, but not until recently did the confused archaeologists realize, what exactly was going on. Several hundred years later, Danish settlers in Minnesota brought the old Viking bread with them, and it soon gained widespread popularity. Also the bakery girls of blonde, Danish descent selling the bread, became popular to an extreme degree, and local Minnesotans soon nicknamed them “sigte broads” for their good looks. In some areas the baker even had to arm his sigte broads with a traditional Danish long knife to dishearten the most intrusive young, male bread costumers. All very weird, but indeed very true."

Keskmist kasvu pikakaelaline pudel, sildil hambulise mõõk-noaga askeldav blond näitsik. Valge pöidlapaksune vahukiht on keskmise püsivusega. Õlle värvus - kirkalt kuldne. Aroom on vaigune, mõrkjas, mahlane ja magusakas, no-just-otse-täpselt-selline nagu üks Väga Hea IPA peab lõhnama. 

Esmamekk on keskmise kehaga ja intensiivselt mõrkjas, veidi vürtsikas ja tummisel vaigune. Keskmaitses uutunnetus muutub tihkemaks, ürdisemaks ja samas karameljamaks, kanarbikumee ja raudrohu seguseks, väga intensiivseks ja keelt väntsutavaks. 

Lõppmaitse mõrustub, raudrohule lisandub kanarbikku, männiokkaid, karamelliseerunud meetilku, kasepungi, päikesepaistet, linnulaulu ja suvehommikuid. See hetk, kui istud sauna ees kastemärjale toolile, torkad hammaste vahele heinakõrre, vaatad katuse ja sireli vahelt väljasirutuvat längus hommikukiirt ning mõtled sellele, kas minna ujuma või kalale ... sest kohustusi sihandsel päeval pole. Järelmeki ajal jääd mõtlema, millal see viimati oli, et sa ühest "lihtsast" IPA'st vaimustuda oskasid ... noh sihukesest kus polegi hollandi puukingi või iisraeli kassinaerist sisse pandud.

Keskmisest veidi raskema kehaga, tugevalt karboniseerunud ja kuivapoolse paletiga, mõrkjas-magusakas-mõrkjas-hapukas-mõrkjas-vürtsikas-magusaka buketiga ÜBERTASANDI RÜÜBE! Etalon-IPA. Noh olgu, IPA'de mõrkjama otsa etalon. Aga oma klassikalisuses võluv!!
