3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 rlgk (7474) - Skövde, SWEDEN - OCT 3, 2004
UPDATED: OCT 16, 2004 For some reasons I have managed to miss this beer on several occasions. When I finally had it, I found it just as good as one can expect from the best brewery in Sweden. Well mixed aroma with the hops dominating. Hoppy and malty flavor with a quite mild finish.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 bark (255) - Linköping, SWEDEN - OCT 2, 2004
The foam is thin and white. The colour is clear amber (“bärnsten” is amber in Swedish).
The smell is full of malt, Challenger hops and a bit sourish.
The carbonation is balanced, long lasting and just right for this kind of beer.
The taste includes the characteristic Jämtlands Bryggeri-elements: A fine dry bitterness, lots of balanced malts and lots of Challenger and maybe some Bramling hops. The aftertaste is bitter and well bodied.
Solid, as expected from these fine brewers!

Pours a foamy off-white head on a clear orange golden body. Mostly hoppy aroma but also malt, toffee and caramel. Very nice! Flavor is bittersweet with a sour undertone. Malty and hoppy with toffee notes. Little thin in the finish but a very nice and tasty beer from a very fine Swedish brewery! Thanks rickgordon for trading me this!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Dixen (1465) - Flagstaff, Arizona, USA - MAY 17, 2004
Golden/orange color, with a medium white thick head. Very nice, good lacing too.
What an aroma! Fruity, malty, some toffee, caramel and then great hops to back it up.
The flavor is malty with a good backup from the hops. Its truely a hop explosion. A little watery. Great one. Thanks to rickgordon for this one.

A masterpiece, as usual, from Jämtland. Hops are dominant but there's a delicate flavor from wheat malt as well. Very rich and flavorful.
