Draught at Gelnfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm Clear deep amber, rich very firm head. Strong hoppy aroma of lychee and grapefruit.Dy and crisp with clean moutfeel. Some cookie malt hides under the powerful, aromatic hops. Definiteively west coast style IPA (well, Mölndal is on the Swedish west coast). In the finish the bitterness dies off very quickly, rendering a light metallic touch. With more bitternes I’d rate it as one of th best Swedish brews I’ve tasted - now it’s only nearly there. With there latest releases Dugges is starting to threaten Närke on the Swedish throne.

(Sampled at the brewery before release) Amber color with a tan head. Hoppy citrus aroma, also taste is quite hoppy. Some licorice in there as well. Medium mouthfeel and bitterness. It’s like the small cow indeed ;-)

Draught at Glenfiddich >Warehouse no 68, Stockholm. Nice amber color, very nice brown/yellow head. Hoppy and fruity aroma, citrus, apples with some sweeter fruits. Huge hoppy flavor, grassy, metallic, hay and some fruity notes. Very much an american style IPA.

Draught at Gelnfiddich Warehouse No. 68, Stockholm. Clear dark amber with a rich sticky tan-coloured head. Dryish juicy aroma of grapefruit with notes of bloodoranges and pine-needles. Grapefruit dominates in the flavour but is somewhat balanced out with tones of vanilla cookies and blue berries. Finishes really bitter of grapefruit, lychee and tart bloodoranges.
