Bottled from Systembolaget Sweet and malty with a lot of citrus. Pleasant bitterness.

500ml Bottle - Amber with a foamy head. Pine, toffee and grapfruit feature in the aroma. Hoppy and slightly sweet taste with caramel, grapefruit, pine and toffee detected. The finish is hoppy, sweet and slightly sticky. Enjoyable, but I think I was expecting a bit more.

Bottled. Hazy deep amber, small head. Rich grapefruity hop aroma. Dryish with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Biscuity crystal malt bacs the rich amounts of citric hops. Marked resiny bitterness. A tasty, very American style ale.

Bottle. Gilden/amber color, nice offwhite head. Nice fruity and hoppy aroma. Citrus, pineapples, grass, milky notes. Fruity hoppy flavor, dry grassy, metal, some pineapple. Long gassy finish with fruity notes.

Aroma: pears, caramel, vanilla, yellow grapes and apricot, spruce needles, a nice acrid depth to it that reminds me of of brewdog paradox sans the whisky.
Flavour: it immediately strikes me as very well balanced. The hops and malt mingle very well and form a unity rather than balanced or unbalanced contrast. Slightly pungent, very fresh and resinous. The malt is not adding much sweetness and yet it manages to add a lot of body – at least given the gravity. The flavour alone probably deserves a 6, but having no annoying qualities at all – a rare thing! – I give it an 8, for this is the kind of beer I could drink every day. The aftertaste reminds me of nettles, onions and nigella seeds, albeit subtly, and finally leaves a very pleasant hop bitterness clinging. There is some vague milkiness going on as well – I would normally have called that sappy, but milky seems more appropriate in this case. I don’t know where it comes from. The alcohol is also doing its work perfectly flavourwise, it adds some heat and pungency and comes as natural with the other flavours as it would’ve done in a good single malt.
Appearance: pretty, ruddy amber with a moderate development of very fine-bubbled yellowish foam.
Palate: oily, slightly frothy, quite fizzy – really clings to your mouth.

Bottle from systembolaget 2011-02-16, Served in a snifter. Aroma: Malty, Appearance: Semi clear, coppery. Quite thick dirty white head. Taste: Medium bitterness. A little bit musty? Palate: Medium, a bit sticky, medium long bitter finish.

Bottle. Clear amber with a large white head. Fruity aroma with pineapple, apricot, grape, resin and some malt. The same in the taste. Easy to drink with a dry finish. Not that bitter. An ok beer but nothing sensational.
