Can at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. A light amber beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of grass and grapefruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of grass and grapefruit, leading to a dry and very bitter finish.

(Can 35,5 cl) Clear warm amber golden with a tall and dense off-white head leaving some laces. Very fat and peachy hop aroma. Medium-bodied with sweetish caramel and an aromatic hoppiness that add a solid hop bite. Very well crafted. 180908

Canned at Stockholm Beer Festival. Deep golden with firm head. Sweaty hoppy nose. Interesting hop flavour combination of lychee, hay and sweat. Fairly soft with medium bodiy and dense chewy malt structure. Very bitter finish. A well made beer throughout. The powerfuk hops are nicely carried by the rich malt.

clear dark amber, wispy beige head, bits of lace, sweet caramel malt aroma with citrus and floral hops, well balanced caramel malt and earthy hop flavor, touch of sweetness from the caramel malt is quickly countered with bitterness rising out of the earthy hops, lasting bitter finish,

Light amber colour. Light hop aroma. Very spicy character. Light body. Moderate bitterness. Neither citric not very bitter. It’s interesting though but maybe not my thing.
