Jämtlands Hell

Brewed by Jämtlands Bryggeri
Style: Premium Lager
Pilgrimstad, Sweden

Soothing earth exhaling funky butterscotch vapors...Fluffy citrus fruit drops glisten on the few freshly-fallen apricots...A patient and pleasant resinous hop bitterness then surfaces to remain, watching back on the serenity of it all...Thanks Per!!...

(Bottled) Clear golden color with small head. Quite aromatic-hoppy, veryy fruity aroma with blackcurrant leaves. Slightly caramely-sweet, fruity flavor. Moderately carbonated, medium-bodied palate. Quite nice, aromatic pilsener.

Bottle The colour is pale copper – with a tone of amber. The hard foam (the amount of foam that builds when you pour the beer into a glass is almost excessive) is medium thick.

The smell is powerful, almost pungent and sour with lots of malt and several types of hops. There are notes of rye bread and leather.

The carbonation is fresh and well balanced.

The taste is at first bittersweet, then a complex bouquet of different malts and hops, there are tones of cucumber, diacetyl and dried leather. For now, I cannot describe the malts and hops involved – I have to rewrite this text at a later time.

The aftertaste is surprisingly soft and mellow for the potent taste, and there are sour flavours of honey and lots of hops.

A helluva beer, as the slogan says? Most definitely.

Bottled (BB 11/2004)
Light amber color, small creamy head, lively carbonation. Fresh pinewood aroma. Mouthfeel is oily, pine hoppy, sweetish. Medium-bodied and fresh. Slightly bitter hoppy finish.

Nice hoppy spicy aroma, light malts. Grapefruit, hop oil, like an IPA. Clear golden amber with creamy white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium-high carbonation. Starts with hoppy fuiy character, light malts. Hoppy bitter finish and after, though rather and refreshing. Very nice beer.

Quite similar to Brøckhouse IPA, which is really amazing, considered Hell is a bottom fermented beer. It is very fresh, bitter and hoppy. Som e dryness in the palate.

A long time household beer. A modern hoppy lager as it should be with plenty of Cascade in every aspect. Clean and still comlex for a golden lager. Recommended.

Golden colored beer with a medium white head. Full and nice aroma, sweet fruity and hoppy with toffee tones. Quite heavy in the flavor, mostly bitter hops and flowers with some toffee/caramel in the background. Bitter dry finish. Another very flavorfull beer from an excellent brewery!
