Bottled. A dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with metallic notes of hops - no my hops profile. The flavor is sweet malty again with metallic notes of hops, but also a light touch of caramel.

Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Hazy golden with small creamy head. Evident diacetyl and toffee aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Lots of rubber, burnt pastic and diacetyl. Lightly appley with burnt grain and rubber in the finish. Showcasing a vast array of brewing faults it seems, but at least it has some body and some character, so it’s not totally hopeless. However my issues with this beer doesn’t stop here. Not only is the beer sub-par, the whole concept of the brewery is to produce the same beer under a large number of names, trying to push it as being a local brew (well in this case it actually is). To me this is false marketing, and a concept I really despise. The earlier enterpise of this owner went bankrupt a number of years ago. I wonder what is happening this time? Apparently the concept is the same, so no love can be expected from beer lovers. With a number of new brewers in the same region, focusing on quality rather than marketing, chances are that the going can get tough again. Personally I don’t believe in this concept.

Bottled@The Red Boat, Stockholm. Golden colour, not much head. Big diacetyl, some malts and hops in a unpleasant harsh way. Flavour is harsh grassy and hayish notes with some slight toffeeish hints. Not very pleasant.
