COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Birra ambrata di alta fermentazione ispirata alle tradizionali India Pale Ale inglesi, molto luppolata nell’aroma e nell’amaro. Al naso si percepiscono sentori agrumati principalmente di pompelmo e sentori speziati, in bocca il malto fa da padrone, segue poi il fruttato ed infine l’amaro che rimane molto persistente. La gasatura medio bassa tipica dello stile ne consente il servizio con la tradizionale pompa inglese.
A brand-new beer from a brand-new, very promising head-brewer. India Pale Ale following the American Pale Ale style with a fruity aroma (grapefruit), with peppery notes (East Kent Goldings), a rich taste of malts (Maris Otter and Crystal), with a very long bitter and citrus finish typical of Cascade hops.

75 cl bottle. Unclear amber colour with a huge white head. May a bit too carbonated. Lovely aroma of sweetness, hops and caramel. Also sweet flavour with a nice touch of hops. Very well made and easy to drink.

Cloudy amber color. Strange beer: very strong perfumy aroma, like the perfumes in Indian shops, and oranges; then the tangerines and oranges take over, and it gets better. I like the flavor more, with some good malt, medium sweet, and a good hopping with fruity touch &&#35;40;bitter oranges&&#35;41;. Confusingly complex, very good.

Hazy amber color. The aroma has some malt and hop. The flavor has a lot of malt and toffee hop, strong bitterness, well mixed. Strong final. Very good.

75 cl bottle. What a dissapointment. I like hoppy flavor with fruity notes. Thisone was unbalanced and filled with sour, sour and sour notes. Maybe I just got a bad bottle in the supermarked....or I have to accept new ways to brew IPAs. Time will show. I’ll rerate it the future!!

Svesse (4389) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - AUG 26, 2006
(Bottle at GBBF, London, 3 Aug) Colour is amber, hazy, with an off-white head. Nose is fruity with loads of grapefruit and a lovely Cascade hop character. Taste is fruity with grapefruit, apricots, dried fruit, plums and cherries. Long hoppy finish. Very complex and quite brilliant. It seems most of the raters got the same infected batch, give it a new chance when fresh. It’s very nice.

[Bottled at Københavnske Øldage] Cloudy pale orange, creamy head. Aroma of grapefruit and melon. Sweet and fruity with near full body, but somewhat mellow mouthfeel. There’s notes of licorice, before it’s finished of by salty bitterness.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2007 Bottle. The aroma is like some sort of red berry. Very cloudy, greyish, milky, copper colour. Very fruity flavour and with fruity hoppiness. Medium to high bitterness. Astringent aftertaste. 7 3 6 3 13
