Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse No 68, Stockholm. Clear pale orange with a huge rocky white head. Nice floral hop aroma with lemon-peels, oranges with the cedar-wood notes from chinook hops. Flavour of grapefruit and citric fruit, hints of peaches and oranges. Lemony and spicy aftertaste. Nice APA.

Keg @ Glenfiddich Warehouse No 69, Stockholm
First time served in Stockholm (if you’re not counting the cheating Akkurat bar...) A wonderful brew. Probably the best Swedish brew at the moment. It is dark golden coloured with a rich head. Big flowerful hop aroma. Refreshing taste with a lot of flowery hops and a citrus tange. Very US-style. Don’t change the recepie, please!

Hazy yellow/amber with a creamy white head. Floral aroma with orange, citrus, banana and some bitter hops. Fruity flavor from grapes and oranges, a bit hoppy, maybe some mango and banana in there as well. Somewhat hoppy finish.

UPDATED: AUG 27, 2008 Draught at Delirium, Gothenburg. Light golden with white head. Aromas of citrusfruits, spring and hops. Mouthfeel is a litte to watery, but it tastes good, with citric elements. Long, bitter finish. Rating: 7-3-7-3-15-3.5. (051008)
From tank at the brewery. Golden, with a small-bubbled white head. Pine, hops, grapefruit and citrus in general in the aroma and flavor. A bit too thin body, and a nice bitter finish. Nice, but just one in the crowd. Rating: 7-3-7-3-13-3.3. (060825)
Bottle. An almost clear, golden beer with a big off-white head. Lovely tropical fruit aroma with citrus. Low on malt. There’s a touch of citric sourness in the flavor, along with malty sweetness and some pine. Teeth-cleansing hops and a medium to full body. Nice sweetness and tropical fruits in the finish, but the bitterness mellows. A really quaffable and quenching beer. (080731)

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Sampled at the brewery)
Hazy pale yellow with a thick white creamy head. Flowery, hoppy nose. Hoppy flavour as well with some fruityness. Quite bitter in finish. Thick mouthfeel. Not bad at all.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at the brewery.
Hazy yellow, wonderful appearance. Light citric, very fresh, nose. Smoooth mouthfeel and very light bodied. Citrus/Orange peel notes in flavour. Flowery. Very mild and drinkable. Finishes with a mild, but long bitter finish. Very balanced. This beer is, according to the brewer, an attempt to conquer those who normally drink International Lager. With a name as Avenyn Ale, playing on Gothenburgers patriotic feelings, I’m sure he’ll succeed. No matter what it tastes...
