[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.

Bottle, 2010-06-17, thx to Jonas Barisa, Göteborg Bottled as Ahle Sommar Spetz AR: (have to check the label for referens:) Scotch gale, Juniper (that one - I know) and angelica AP: bownish body, high but quickly dimingshing head, heavy carbonation F: Scotch gale, Juniper (that one - i know and angelica), quite bitter and sour flavors, but on the other hand a bit thiny body - citrus in the head:-),

Bottle at 3 Små Rum, as Ahle SommarSpetz. Pours a nice, clear, copper body with a beige head. Heather, myrica gale, camphor, piney hops and some maltyness in the aroma. The flavor is herbal and sweet, with caramel and some bitterness. Medium body and a herbal finish. The aroma of the beer was very promising, but unfortunately the flavor didn’t follow up. Due to the herbs, it’s a kinda strange beer, but with good drinkability. (080709)

rbesg06, bottle at delirium. deep amber, weird aroma of jaegermeister and polished floorboards. light texture, plenty of juniper flavour, weird but not bad

Bottle from Delerium cafe. A potpourri of herbs partying sensibly inside my mouth. They’re all behaving in an orderly fashion but somehow it’s still fun. Nice unexpected kick to the finish.

Bottled as Ahle Sommarspetz. Copper coloured, small white head. Big spicy aroma with some maltyness. Flavour is juniper and some other spices all the way through. Herbal brew, which almost is something of a mix of a low alco mead meeting sahti and spices. Lovely!
