Bottled ay Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear amber, small head. Perfumy lychee aroma. Fairly sweet. the clean malt acts only as a backdrop to the extravagant hops. where pine needles, shampoo and lychee abound. Finishes bitter, but not to the point you’d expect after the hop aroma.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is of pine, good pot. This beer reminds me a lot of my review for Alaskan IPA. It’s a very basic, yet very good example of the style. My favorite Big Sky beer yet out of the variety pack I bought.

12oz bottle 9/1/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a very slightly hazy amber with a small off white head. Aroma of hops, malt, and citrus. Taste of the same with a bit more malt character thrown in. This medium bodied brew is not bad but a bit more malty than others.
