COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Slagsta är vår tredje single hop ale på 5,6% där en enda humlesort använts i alla humlegivorna och maltbasen är exakt densamma som i tidigare single hop ale. Vi har använt ett antal olika mellanmörka maltsorter vilket gör att ölet har en behaglig maltighet. I Slagsta har vi använt humlesorten Citra som är en amerikansk humlesort från 2008 som ger fruktiga toner av citrus och krusbär. Citra ger karaktär av moget fruktkött och inte det kärva fruktskalet vilket gör detta till en lättillgänglig och mycket populär humlesort. Ölet är smaksatt med mycket generösa humlegivor och humleälskare kommer inte att bli besvikna.

Oh what a lovely scent. The taste is not like the smell completely but still great. The aftertaste is also great and last a good while.

thewolf (9857) - Kolding, DENMARK - NOV 18, 2012
Bottle, bought @ Systembolaget, Hyltebruk.
Pours hazy amber with a large, frothy, white head. Aroma has citrus, a bit of funk, sweet oranges, strawberries. Medium carbonation, lovely dry and light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has firm citrus zest, doughy malts, dry and bitter. Still some funkiness that works very well. Very well-balanced.

rarbring (654) - Linköping, SWEDEN - NOV 14, 2012
Aroma: Smelling of lemon, grape-fruit, pine resin and grass.
Appearance: A hazy amber colored beer. A off-white head with some lacing and some curtains.
Taste: Tasting sweet bread, toffee, pine and grape-fruit peel.
Palate: Medium carbonation, a soft texture. A medium body with a very dry finish.
Overall: A very typical citra single hop, good - but not thrilling.
Note: On-tap at Bishops Arms, Sankt Eriksgatan. Reviewed 2012-11-14.

Bottle from Systembolaget in Eskilstuna. Very fresh hoppy smell, lots of citrus and fruits. Similar taste with a caramel malt base.

gnoff (6317) - Mölndal, SWEDEN - OCT 22, 2012
50 cl bottle ordered by the bottle to Systembolaget in Mölndal. BB 2013.06.16, sampled on October 22, 2012.
Clear copper color, tan head. Malty, citrus, pine, resin, moss, hoppy, cheese scent. Also hints of mint. Malty, hoppy, bitter taste. Bitter and slight metallic aftertaste. That bitterness really lingers, citrussy. Medium mouthfeel, feels a bit low on the co2. Medium high bitterness.
Feels unbalanced for my taste, more to the hoppy and bitter side, less thought about the malt. Not bad, just not really for me.

(Bottle). Soft and vague scent of fruity hops, apricot and gooseberries. The taste is very fresh but it also has very short taste flavoring. The flavors of gooseberry and tropical fruits passes very quickly to a dry citrus toned bitterness. Little carbonation makes the beer quite off. A good beer and a good thirst quencher but the taste should have been much fuller and longer!

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty hoppy aroma with weak yeasty hints. Fruity malty hoppy flavor. Has a fruity malty hoppy bitter finish.

Vignale (1368) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAY 20, 2012
På flaska från Systembolaget. Mörkt bärnstensfärg som drar något åt rött. Smutsvitt medelhögt skum. Doft av grape och tallskott. Murrig smak liksom anddra av Eskilstunas single hop. Men en tydlig smak av fruktkött från grape friskar upp. Fruktig, lättdrucken och helt okej.
