UPDATED: FEB 21, 2007 Draught at Eskilstuna Ölkultur, Eskilstuna. Hazy dark amber, small head. Strong resiny hoppy nose. Dryish and very malty with solid bold mouthfeel. Loads of English style hops and salt, plenty of fruit. Punishing resiny bitterness. Straightforward and powerful.

The aroma is vaguely metallic, grassy hops with a little sour and strange tone of berries and fruit. The taste is a bit unusual, as a mishmash of various flavors, such as tropical fruit, melon, grassy hops and gooseberries. Especially the taste of gooseberries are left in the somewhat dry and bitter aftertaste. I like this beer, it is tricky in flavor but still tasty!

Bottle (50 cl) from Systembolaget. Hazy amber, medium white head. Herbal and floral hop aroma, some bready malt background. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Dry with medium bitterness (60 IBU, really?).

En av de märkligaste IPor jag druckigt. Ska vara brittisk till stilen men jag hittar snarast en massa bär typ hallon och jordgubbar, passionsfrukt, drag av gummi och deg, friska syrliga smaker och nästan ingen beska alls. Svår att ge ett betyg på men det udda stack ändå ut på ett positivt sätt även om smakerna inte kändes helt rena.

A very hazy golden brew with a medium white head. A quite raw yeasty taste that I remind me of my homebrews. Some caramel malts and a lot of citric hops. A raw bitterness at the end.

500 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours hazy pale yellow with a frothy white head that leaves lots of trace and lacing on the glass while slowly dissipating. Smell is sweet and hoppy fresh with lemon toffee, caramel, lemon zest, pineapple and hints of grass. Taste is sweet and bitter with lemon drops, pineapple, freshly cut grass, green grapes, white bread, lemon grass and hints of peaches and mango. Mouthfeel is slightly watery and medium bodied. Finish is slightly sweet with lemon grass, orange zest, freshly cut grass and hints of pine. A bit shy and subtle but on the other hand quite drinkable and refreshing.

Bottle. Hazy brownish orange with a short bubbly cream white head that lace. Nice mellow but bready aroma with apricot, mandarine and peppery grassy hops. Taste is sweet bread, caramel and fruity with oranges and apricots and a marked grassy bitterness. A hint of alcohol. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A nice drinkable brittish ipa with bite. ANOTHER!

Slight bit hazy golden color, medium off-white head. Malty, sweet, bubblegum, fruity, hoppy scent. Bitter, a bit hoppy taste, mainly bitter though. Starts off bitter and keeps it coming, hard for me to pick out much taste. A tad bit sweet in there, some fruitiness. Smooth mouthfeel, fairly high bitterness. It’s ok for drinkability, but not so much fun to look around for taste in. A bit papery aftertaste, mixed with a harsh bitterness that lingers.

Draught at Monks Porterhouse, Stockholm. Amber/golden beer, offwhite head. Fruity citrus aroma, pear, pine apple. Orange flavor, pear, citrus, grassy hops.
