Bottled as Ahle Sommar Spetz (BB 09/2006). Copper brown, small off-white head. A bit sweet nose (brown sugar), lots of spices (ginger). Medium-bodied. Grassy, toffeish, some spices similar to ginger and juniper, overall very herbal taste.

Bottle (Ahle Sommarspetz). Quite boirng. Nose is a bit rubbery. Palate is light and clean, with some soft spicy characters, also a little bite grassy, not much happening though.

Bottle at Delirium Café, Göteborg as Ahle Sommerspetz. Hazy orange coloured with an off white head. Light acidic aroma of malts, caramel and fruits. Flavour of malts, smoke, fruits and hops with acidic notes. Harsh finish.

[Bottled as Ahle SommarSpetz at Tegnérs Gömställe, Stockholm] Pale amber, rich head. Herbal medicinal nose where bogmyrtle is very evident. Light-medium body with firm, clean mouthfeel. Soem caramel. Herbal bitter finish. Somewhat unusual, flawless and not at all without charm.

UPDATED: APR 18, 2007 Light red/brown hazy colour,white foam.Aroma of flowers, hops and pors. Water mouth feeling ,thin body short bitter finsih.(Ahle Sommarspetz)

Golden colour, medium white head. Earthy nose with grassy hints. Earthy flavour as well with notes of juniper. Light bodied. Slight bitter finish with some notes of vegetables.

Bottled. Amber colour. Smells like a Gin & Tonic. Also notes of soil in aroma. Flavour is very much soily and cellary, with smallish notes of juniper. Body is pretty light. Refreshing and interesting beer. Not a pilsener, rather a Spice/Herb/Vegetable.

Deep golden, off white head. Aroma from juniper berry, resin, pine needles. Woody and dry. Flavor brings resin as well, gin, whisky and very woody. A bit strange and not a beer I like very much.

Bottled. Amber with a large white head. Fruity aroma with oak and rosépepper. Fruity and spicy flavour. Very fresh, flowery beer.
