Bottled@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet fruits, peach, flowery and wooden hops along with some rather grassy notes. Flavour is much the same. Mild nectary notes in the finish. Pleasant.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear amber golden with a rough off-white head. Caramel, fruits, hops and alcohol in the nose. Quite full-bodied with a solid malt base that balances the distinct bitterness and alcohol rather nicely. But perhaps the hop profile is not the most sophisticated. 210908

12oz - Aroma is pungent pine hops and caramel malt. Pours cloudy orange-brown with a medium head and great lacing. The flavor is both pine and citrus hops with a nice caramel finish. Palate is tart. A very nice full bodied IIPA.

Clear amber with tiny white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with caramel and pine notes. Seriously hoppy flavour with notes of grapefruit, pine and caramel. End solid bitter.

Having tried a few other Arcadia ales, I was weary to buy a four-pack of this one. However, when Binny’s started breaking this up into single bottles, I decided what the hell. Pours amber with a sticky head. Nose is of lots of great hops, and some astringent. Nice piney, citrus hoppy flavor and caramel malt, though it could use a bit more malt. Mouthfeel is average, I expected a little more. Alcohol is present in the flavor and adds to the solvent-like quality. Overall, I was impressed, but that’s because I wasn’t expecting much.
