(Bottle) Pours orange amber with a creamy, off-white head. The aroma holds orange, apricot, spicy wood, touch of flowers, grass mild canned fruits, soft pine/resin, toast, cookies, butter, fudge, popcorn and a hint of bread and earthy tobacco. Bit sterile nose. The mouthfeel is light sweet, medium bitter and tiny acidic with notes of grapefruit, orange, lemon peel, grass, spicy wood, resin, bread, toast, soft cookies, light honey and a whisper of canned fruits. The mouthfeel is quite soft and fairy clean with a light to medium carbonation. Lingering grapefruity and resinous finish. Medium bodied.

Cloudy amber color, with medium seized creamy head. Good aroma of malt and hops, spicy and zesty, some cereals too. The malt flavor is a bit heavy and chewy compared to expectations, but not unheard of in American beers; the malt is quite strong, good, with some caramel; they both provide some sweetness; good hopping, bold, well balanced, with a fruity character, of sweet oranges.
Very good.

Fantastisk söt barley wine-liknande doft av ljunghonung, torkade aprikos och nektar. Torrare smak än vad doften skvallrar om, ändå stor sötma, men inte störande, tropisk frukt, liten till måttlig beska. Otypisk APA och lite alkoholtung men väldigt förförande doft.

Bottle from Systembolaget.Strong smell of cookies and biscuits. Similar taste with cookies, biscuits, oatmeal and some hops in the background. Mellow bitterness but still noticable. A bit weird with the cookie malt base, but still pretty nice.

The aroma is tangy malt with hints of raisins, fruit and caramel malt. The taste is fruity with hints of caramel malt and dry hops. Ok beer!
