0:42#SIPA divides the tasters over its lightness and hoppy flavour.
3:13Modern Pale Ale earns widespread praise for deeper flavour and drinkability, though not everyone agrees.
5:31Whirl Domination prompts descriptions of savoury, almost cocktail-like flavours.
8:13#DIPA surprises the group with its alcohol strength and intense fruitiness.
10:05The pairs compare preferences, with Modern Pale Ale emerging as their broadly shared favourite.

Gráinne Blumenthal has a short description for what is on the tasting table: "Hipster beer." The TRY Channel's introduction to Danish IPAs starts with some scepticism, then finds a broadly shared favourite in a can labelled Modern Pale Ale.

The new upload, "Irish People Try Danish IPA For The First Time", has drawn roughly 45,000 views in its first twelve hours. Paddy Murphy, Gráinne, Holli Breslin, Hayley, Seamus Stackpoole and Colin Regan sample four beers from Danish brewer To Øl, with opinions considerably less polished than the can descriptions.

First comes #SIPA, a session IPA whose lightness and hoppiness divide the table. Seamus delivers the particularly unpromising verdict: "It's not the best of both worlds, it's the worst of both worlds." Modern Pale Ale brings a deeper flavour and a warmer reception, although Holli still detects dishwater.

Whirl Domination takes things in a stranger direction, with the tasters finding savoury, almost cocktail-like notes. Gráinne is unimpressed by the language around it: "Sorry, in fairness, that's just a load of words. Like, none of that actually means anything."

The final #DIPA gets attention for its strength and intense fruitiness. But when the pairs look back over the line-up, it is Modern Pale Ale, rather than the double IPA finale, that earns the broadest agreement.
