larsniclas (2735), Gothenburg, Sweden Dec 28, 2004 Bottled.
Dark amber.
Fine hoppy nose; nutty-ish.
A bit thin with notes of chocolate and ok bitterness. Jeppe (2634), Ølbutikken, Denmark Nov 27, 2004 Sampled from draught at Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival 2004 (#6). Dark amber colored beer with a red gleam and a tall light tan head. Sharp in the aroma. Yeast, malt, spices, hops and peppery tones. Dry and bitter hoppy in the flavor. Plenty of spices and citrus. Some harshness and a dry finish. Good one, though quite atypical Jämtland. screwball (669), Motala, Sweden Oct 10, 2004 Fruty aroma. Dark red in color. Nice tast of hops and feels a little bit dry. This brewery knows how to make good beer! rickgordon (2947), Göteborg, Sweden Oct 8, 2004 Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival.
Sugary lemonade nose, dewy, refreshing. Flavour: I was just wondering what was so unfamiliar with the hoppiness but ah yes, the hops seem to be from the garden of the brewer. I found it nice but could not put my finger on what it was like, probably not so accentuated as the malt profile, which is very nuanced, given the fact that Maris Otter and so many other malts are used. It finishes with a medium bitterness. rlgk (2944), Motala, Sweden Oct 3, 2004 Amber color. Typical hoppy aroma. Hoppy, vinous flavor with a nice body. But I think this beer needs some time before it gets really good. I will rate it again.
