Type: American Pale Ale
Alkohol: 6%
Etikettekst: The sunstone - much disputed among scholars. Did the Viking navigators really have such a tool that would help them point out what was east and what was west - even on a less than sunny day? We certainly believe so. Many years later no sunstone was needed when Amager Bryghus was invaded by what very much looked like Viking ancestors of American descent. Hailing from Munster, Indiana, Chris Boggess and Barnaby Struve of Three Floyds Brewing arrived not with a vengeance but with very loud King Diamond on their portable mp3 player. This was not a day for slaughter but for brewing. And brew we did. The mellow and dangerously qua able Arctic Sun- Stone is proof that even Viking warriors can have a more subtle side to them. All hail to Three Floyds.

Beskrivelse: Jeg har aldrig smagt øl fra Three Floyds før, til gengæld har jeg læst dem udråbt til verdens bedste bryggeri (og hvor unikt det er at de kan fås på Mikkellers to beverdinger) så mange gange, at jeg på forhånd er kørt trætte i dem. Det skal selvfølgelig ikke lastes dem, at jeg hader opblæst salgslir, der på alle kanaler bliver gentaget i det uendelige, så selvfølgelig går jeg til Arctic Sunstone med et åbent sind. Selv i mit mest surmulende hjørne ville jeg dog nok give mig og indrømme, at Arctic Sunstone ganske enkelt dufter fantastisk. Det er blød porno for næseborene, hvor alt det lækre bliver fremhævet, uden at du får for meget af det gode tværet ud i sanseapparatet. Selve øllen er skarpt skåret og totalt ind til benet. Det er virkelig en frisk og tør øl, der bliver markant rundere efterhånden som den har fået lov til at stå. Der er masser af smag, men den følger en forholdsvis smal sti på sin vej gennem munden, så det er ikke en øl, der fuldstændig mætter munden med smag - til gengæld hænger det der er ved længe. Arctic Sunstone ligger i udkanten af, hvordan jeg bedst kan lide Pale Ale. Den er lige intens nok til mig. Meget forsigtigt gætter jeg på, at det er Citra-humlen, der driller mig. Uden at jeg skal gøre mig humlekyndig kan jeg dog genkende den som en humlesort, der tidligere har været involveret i øl, der på samme vis har været i overkanten for mig. Når det så er sagt, så gør Arctic Sunstone det forbilledligt både som tørstslukker og som smagsoplevelse, og jeg tror at mere hærdede Pale Ale-drikkere end mig vil kunne hente en stor oplevelse.
