Bottle. (old notes) Amber with a small white head. Light roasted aroma with hops. The taste was rather mild with hops, citrus and some resin. Also some bread. Resfreshing stuff.

(Draught) Pours clear red to brown. Flowery hops and fruity aroma with pineapple and apricot. Sweet, caramel malt with cookie notes. Sweet and bitter mouthfeel with a light rasiny/piney flavour. Small to medium body.

Hand pumped 1/2 pint at the Bishop’s Arms, Malmo. Appearance is of a normal bitter, sligjhtly dark perhaps. Good aroma of apples and flowers and ok hoppy taste, but badly let down by a thin palate with no aftertaste.

[Draught @ Stockholm Beer Festival] Amber colour. Ok head. Good hop aroma with notes of toffee. Flavor is Fruity apricots, toffee and hops. Well balanced.

Bottle at SMÖF 2010. It poured a hazy mahogny-brown liquid without a head. Flavour of caramel, burned sugar and malt. Smooth mouthfeel with a light-medium thick body. A light and easy to drink beer.

Drauht at the brewery:Brown body. Aroma, there was lots og chinooc and casade hops, and a bit of sweet malt. A thin body, but the long bitter finish give the beer carakter. .It was tatsed direkt from the tank, so it was a bit too cold, therefor the body was too thin this time. I will re rated this beer after a time.

500ml bottle. Pours a medium copper/orange, thine white head. Malty, slightly roasted nose, caramel, yeast, hops, copper, apricot, earth, carrots (!). Dry, on the lighter side of medium bodied, medium bitterness, balanced CO2. Malty, yeasty taste, a bit thin in mid-palate, hops, caramel, earth. Nice, easy-drinking bitter, robust but enjoyable.

Gyllenbrun, skummar måttligt, skummet lägger sig som ett lock på glaset. Till karaktären som en engelsk bitter eller kanske special bitter. Rund och len i smaken men med amerikansk humle. Inte intensivt utan lite mer nedtonat. Skapar en fin balans mellan den lite söta kristallmalten och den friska amerikanska humlen som gör det till ett utmärkt matöl. Lite för liten karaktär för att sticka ut och utan den där Dugges-touchen.

Bottled. Pale red, amber. Thick beige head. Citrusy aroma, soap and flower. Taste lemon, lime, grapefruit. Quite ok - but just a little bit boring. The taste is rather original, but not in an interesting way.

Bottle. Slightly hazy amber with a white head. Aroma: sweet fruit, some fruit I can’t quite place, toffee, perhaps some floral hops. Taste: some licorice, fruits, citrus, some grapefruit, a bit metallic, medium bitterness. Unfortunately, a bit too thin and watery.
