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

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!

Bottled as SommarSpetz. An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of berries and medium notes of spices and malt. The flavor is very complex with notes of spices, bog myrtle, cloves, and malt, leading to a dry end.

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.

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)

Draught. Clear amber with a medium head. Malty, slightly spicy aroma. Medium bodied with a very smooth mouthfeel. Ok balance, dry finish.

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.

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

[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.
