3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Brown-orange with decent off-white head and good lacing. Very nice floral hop aroma with hint of grapefruit. Flavor is not quite as hoppy as the aroma would indicate. Also, a tad more sweet than expected. Still, a very good and pleasing IPA. Good mouthfeel. Clean finish. Overall, a very pleasant beer.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Red/brown, creamy light beige head. Hoppy aroma with several fruits and malt. Refreshing taste of fruits, the centennial really shows here. Somewhat abrupt finish but still a good ipa
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dugges bollox ipa. 500ml bottle once again shared by timo... Pours a
smewhat hazy lighter copper hue with a frothy white head... Aroma is
grassy with a touch of pine and spruce. Milder degree of malt in the
background... Flavors are much of the same with a bit more of a malt
presence while the hops play an equal role and offering a grassy
bitter note. Medium bodied.
Enjoyed the oppigards a touch more.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Bruisin Ales. Orange body. Caramel and some sugar sweetness in the taste. Very malty. For a beer from Sweden, tastes very fresh. Some bitter alcohol finish. Nice.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Extrem starke Schaumentwicklung. Malziger Antrunk, der vom Hopfen nur wenig geleitet wird. Etwas muffig wirkend, das Bier wird erst spät richtig hopfig. Eine Ausbreitung der Aromen wird außerdem durch das CO2 erschwert. Etwas sääuerlich-hopfiger Abgang imt deutlichem Malzeinschlag. Nicht sehr IPA-mäßig.
Test vom 3.10.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,7,7,7,10,7 - 7,65
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From bottle at Olympen. Cloudy amber, medium head. Fruity hop aroma. Good fruity hop flavours, hints of pears and apples. Good bitterness. A good hoppy English-style IPA.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Super hazy mystical murky orange color with a light white head. Great hoppy aroma, very round and mellow with orange and dried fruit. Rich full flavor loaded with nice hops, grapefruit, sweet fruity hints and perfectly balanced. Round and silky smooth mouthfeel. True brew magic from the Mölndal masters.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml bottle.
Pours a hazy, medium orange, thin white head.
Quite hoppy aromas, the focus is however rather malt-oriented for an IPA. Caramel, fudge, citrus, spices, spruce, pineapple.
Off-dry, medium body, medium to high bitterness, balanced CO2.
Fruity, malty, and hoppy taste, caramel, grapefruit, chocolate, yeast.
I think this lacks a bit in the fruity hoppiness, and in the body, to really give it that IPA punch. A highly drinkable session ale, with a few unclean, phenolic notes to it. Bad batch? (2011-04-19)
