COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Translation from the label. "Already in the 17th century lobster from Bohuslän was sent to The Royal Court in Stockholm. Our swedish lobster hav ethroughout the centuries defended it's position as a delicacy worthy kings. Just in time for the lobster season has brewmaster Robert Bush - Grebbestad Bryggeri along with sommelier Niclas Pihl - Restaurang Sjömagasinet and the Swedish Lobster Academy created a beer, HUMMER. The beer is especially suitable to lobster and other seafood. The brew is limited to approx. 20000 bottles. The hand crafted HUMMER is a full malt beer. Among the malt varieties used is, alongside pilsner-and caramell malt also wheat malt, which gives HUMMER a soft and fresh character with some acidity. The German hop variety Perle and the American Cascade is in hormony with the flavour of seafood." NB. Hummer is swedish for lobster.

Thanks to Gusgus for this! Bottle: This beer has 4,9% at the label.From 2006. Light yellow clear colour, with a thin/flat head.Aroma is malty, a bit fruity too, and ends with a smouth hopyness. Flavor has aloso thic caracter. But has also a metalic mouth feeling, and some nuty too. Maybee this ber has a short Live, and has already past the best before? Dry medium finish, light to medium body. Sorry this was disepointing.

Odd, thing about this beer, on the first sip I tasted the Cascade, not in an overwelming fashion, but by the end the Cascade was over shadowed by the malt. Light yellow color, sweet, malty, slighty piney aroma. Mostly malt flavor, but the Cascade is there for the tasting. Unusual bock, due to the hops, but one I really enjoyed. Many thanks Per.

Definitely not a bock! This is supposed to go well with shellfish (Hummer means ’lobster’) and it does! A very well-crafted product!
