Svesse (1621), Hässelby, Sweden Aug 3, 2008 (Bottle, Ölbaren, Copenhagen, 25 July 2008) Pale amber colour with firm, creamy, beige head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of orange, mandarin and caramel. Very fresh aromas. Fruity taste with mandarin, orange, hints of caramel and balanced doses of citrussy hops in the finish. Fairly thin body, but perfectly balanced and very fresh. Very nice beer. Cobra (1029), In the snake pit, Maryland, USA Jul 26, 2008 My bottle says 6.4% ABV. Anyway, poured out an orangeade color, with a thin, but persistant tan head. Left sticky lacing down the sides of the glass. Aromas are piney hops, strong malts, caramel, toffee. Flavors are about the same as the aromas.
Medium mouthfeel, decent body.
