4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear dark copper, with nice small creamy off-white head. Amazing fresh flowery hoppy aroma, with also a bit of citrus fruit and caramel. The body is very well balanced, with the slightly aggressive bitterness matched with a strong palate of crystal malt and some darker chocolate flavours. The finish is a little dry, with even more fresh hop flavours showing. Really enjoyable

Bottle 0,5l. Brown colour. A large creamy tanned head. Fruity and malty aroma with some spice. Flavour of candy. Leaves you with a malty aftertaste with hints of chocolate.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500ml bottle hand-imported from Systembolaget in Kiruna. Clear, rusty brown in colour topped by a tight off-white head leaving nice lacing on the glass. Aromatic hops. Medium mouthful. Dark malty bitterness dominates the flavour with a solid touch of fresh fruit. Lovely bitter finish. Getting still better as it warms up in the glass.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A clear amber coloured beer. Has a real good flavor. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Long malty finish, palate is slighty astringent.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ml bottle. Brilliant dark brown. Throws a tall off-white head that clings to the glass. Dark caramel, oaky and vanilla aromas. Rich, but slightly dry, roasted malty flavours with a clearly bitter base. Medium-bodied with not much sweetness other than the caramel malts that is hiding behind the roastedness. A well-done pale ale, a very quaffable one indeed.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: FEB 16, 2007 (Draught at The Rover, Göteborg) Pours beautiful red/black with a white head. Soapy aroma with flowery and citrusy hops. Caramelly malt. Flowery, grapefruity bitterness in flavour with a bit of cookies. Not so complex. Sharp, soapy and a bit sour palate. A taste of minerals.

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2008 Cask, real ale, at Irish Pub in Sundsvall, Sweden. Red-brown color, beige head. Hoppy scent, very refreshing. Hoppy and bitter taste. More than average bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, but sort of a smooth feeling.
