Bottle from Bierzwerg. Brewed with Cascade, Perle and Smaragd hops. Pours clear dark orange amber with large white head. Even though the bottle indicates that the beer was made this month I get no hops aroma at all! Only some vague flowers and sweet caramel. The hops does finally come through in the taste, which is a bitter-sweet mix of sweet malts with candis sugar and caramel and flowery hops with strong spice and good bitterness. It’s a decent taste but feels unbalanced and rough. The flavours clash more than complement each other and the lack of aroma is very puzzling. Needs more work.

Bottle: Hazy, light amber coloured, lots of floaties visible, firm and stable off-white head, citrussy and piney hops are dominant in the nose, cough syrup and toasted malt underneath; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied; lingering caramelly and - a bit - cough-syrupy finish, solid hops in the aftertaste. Fine brew.....

750ml bottle. Minimal cloudy orangey amber colour average frothy lacing orangey white head. Slightly artificial sweet fruity aroma, strawberry, rhubarb, gooseberry, slightly sourish reverberation. Sweet fruity taste with orange notes, in parts displaced by an improper, unbalanced and somewhat displeasing bitter hop note. Mediocre.

Flaska 75 cl. Ljunghonungsfärgad öl, med stort smutsvitt skum. Smultron är dominerande i aromen, men också honung och fläder finns där. I smaken hittas framför allt melon och grapefrukt, vilket gör att en första sötma avslutas med en trevlig beska. Fint hantverk.

(bottle, 75cl) Hazy, amber coloured hue with ugly floaties and medium-sized slightly tanned foamy head. Sweet cara-malty aroma with fruity, flowery and spicy hops. Mildly sweet and bitter flavour, almost full bodied with a calm carbonation. Initially sweet (cara-)malty taste with a well-rounded blend of aroma hops, accompanied by hints of cough syrup; sweet-bitter and long lasting finish with balanced malty and hoppy notes. Ugly but well-crafted. 04.IV.12

Bottle at RBNAG-11. Deep golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt, hop, fruit. Flavour is malt, hop, fruit, alcohol, caramemel. Boring beer.

Golden with a white head - there is some hop in the aroma - good malt body with some hop bitterness - some hoppy bitternotes in the end, but not as much as expected, but it is still good

Dunkelhopfiger Beginn, deutlich fruchtig werdend, dann intensiver hopfig. Das Bier liegt mit den Hopfennoten schwer im Mund, übermäßig blumig, rund – intensiv! 10/11/11/12/12/12

Dark orange colored with hazy appearance. Medium sized yellow head. Rich flowery aroma with exotic fruits, pineapple and pine, sweet one. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is also nicely piney with grass, flowers and same pineapple, sweetness lasts in also bitter aftertaste.

0.75l bottle from bierpost. Cloudy, deep golden colour, large and creamy, quite dense head. Hoppy-fruity aroma. Full-bodied, very smooth start with a solid malty background and lots of aromatic hops. Bursting with tropcial fruit such as mango, papaya; and citrus fruit with a shy resiny background. Delicious.
