Bottled@vPBFII. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized white foamy/creamy head. Aroma is spicy, fruity, herbal, grassy and quite spicy hops. Flavour is spicy hops, yeast and sweet malts.

33 cl bottle @ wPBF’13.
Pours hazy golden color with a medium sized head. Aroma of hops, some sour fruits, yeast and spices. Flavor of apricot, yeast, spices, sourish citrus fruits and goose berries. Reminds me of a great finnish home brewer with the yeast profile and sour fruity notes. Definitely not an IPA but seems to be an accidentally nice sour brew. Nice.

33 cl bottle (7%) @ wPBF. Bottled 03.10.2012.
Aroma has hops, soapy notes, citrus and biscuits. Flavour is rather tart with citrus and spicy notes. Also some vanilla and berries. Quite odd stuff, quite far from IPA. Closer to a sour ale.

330 ml bottle @ WPBF 2013.
Pours a cloudy orange colour with a white head. Aroma of dried apricot, mango, horse maneuver and sourness. Flavour of sweetish malts, sour berries, lemon juice, floral notes and some mango. Light bodied, slick mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Quite messy.

Bottle from De Molen online shop. Bold caramel body with puffy, lasting head. Nose is hoppy, citrus, pines. Taste is butter, hops, citrus and limes. Quite a sharp lime taste in the finish. Soft texture.

Bottled at Monk’s Cafe Wallingatan, Stockholm. Cloudy pale ambe, small head. Lemony grapefruit aroma. Dryiish with har,m metallic mouthfeel. Edgy, lemony and metallic. Poor.

Bottle at Monks Wallingatan, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden/amber beer with a decent offwhite head. Hoppy caramel aroma, fruity grapes, pine apples, floral, some leather notes. Fruity sugary flavor, sweetish cloying, grassy notes. Sweetish fruity finish, a lot like a ton of fruit cocktail.

@BBF12. Pours dark amber with a beige head. Aroma is malt, grass, pine, grapefruit and flower. Flavour is caramel, grapefruit, flower, grass and pine. A little messy.

Clear amber, big light beige head. Aroma is fruity, with things like lychee and peach. Taste is slightly sour, making a bad combination with the fruits. Infected I guess.

Bottle at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm, 7% ABV, brewed 3oct2012
Hazy amber color with generous head. The aroma, once more, is quite dusty, with some Brett’s. dryish mouthfeel, dusty, with light suspicious sourness and quite strong bitterness.
Not exciting.
