2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20500ml can pours a pale amber color with a huge white head that retains well and leaves very little lacing as it settles. Aroma is light roasted malts with some mild hops. Taste is light roasted malt bitterness with some caramel malty sweetness and a bit of hop bitterness in the finish. Light bodied with abundant carbonation. Very creamy mouthfeel. Somewhat tasty, but nothing really memorable.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Appearance: Pours a lovely ruby red with that wonderful cascading action thanks to the nitrogen bubbles. Creamy thick head that lasts for quite a long time, and a reasonable amount of lacing down the glass.
Aroma: A collection of sweet malt, caramel, and some faint hops. Nothing to get excited about, but nothing ’wrong’.
Taste: Some light toast, pale malt, and a bit of nuttiness. There is some bitterness, but it is kept in check. Quite simple and clean, and a little sweet.
Mouthfeel: A smooth, velvety, creamy body with that stereotypical nitrogen carbonation. Trying to read through the layers of cream, it does have a reasonably dry finish, and I think the body has been left thin so that it isn’t overly heavy when combined with the nitrogen.
Overall: A nice beer, one that highlights subtle malt and nut flavours, and could be likened to a lighter, less roasty Guinness (in a good way). It is not as complex as I would have hoped, but is ahead of a lot of other ’macro’ beers out there. Definitely relies on the nitrogen carbonation to stand out, but worth trying anyway.

Flaska från Systembolaget. Mörk grumlig vätska. Avslagen med en läskig surhet i smaken. Huvva!

Draught. This is a pretty bad Irish ale that lacks depth and flavor.
