3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a hazy deep orange body with a medium creamy off-white head. Nose is grassy noble hops, pale malts, hints of melon and caramel. A bit faint. Taste is smooth grass and resinous hop tones and hints of herbs. Very neutral, but somehow still flavorful. Full body, soft carbonation. A strange beer, and I guess in many ways suited for its thematic profile.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample from 50 cl bottle. Nice, cloudy amber colour with a beige head. Aroma with grapefruit, pines, a spicy note and sweet fruits. The taste is sweet. Medium body with a creamy texture. Finishes bitter with floral hops, spices and some fruit. Well made APA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Hazy amber liquid with medium off - white head. Aroma of citrus, lemongrass, tangerine, light caramel, marmalade and tropical fruit. Nice. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter with notes of tropical fruit, grain and tangerine. Medium bodied with a bit low carbonation. Quite allright.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Systembolaget, Sweden.
Big, lasting beige head. Very clowdy orange color.
A small but fine hop aroma that I think goes more towards herban then floral in its charater. Hop domitate the tate and some chrystal malts balasing and a fine litle sparkle. I agree with their statment that it isn’t American nor English IPA or pale ale, just a nice hoppy alt that probably will go fine with hearty food.

draft at Blue Monk. Copper colored pour. Fruit forward notes of graprefruit & peach. decent bitterness, far from a hop bomb but balanced with floral & fruity hops & caramel malt backbone.

Med tanke på att Schopenhauer var tysk kan man utgå från att var en öltörstig sälle. Vem vet, kanske var det i botten av sina stop som han hittade näring till sina filosofiska tankefoster. Om så är fallet, botten upp dryckesbroder! Om så inte är fallet, botten upp ändå - för man måste vända saker upp-och-ned för att göra nya upptäckter, om det så är ett ölglas eller ett paradigm.

Cloudy dark amber liquid with a big white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma of British marmalade with hints of toffee, could be stronger. The taste is quite bitter-sweet reminding me once again of British marmalade. Medium carbonation with lots of tiny bubbles and medium mouth feel. Pretty long bitter after-taste. I can see why the brewery prefers not to call it an APA since it’s definitely more of a hybrid between English and American brewing traditions.

Very nice aroma with floral and hops. Pours orange cloudy (Unfiltered) with nice off-white head. Medium sweet with full body. Lots of Hops and OK bitterness. Will drink it again!
