Draught at Ölrepubliken during "Närkevecka", on February 27, 2013
Hazy golden to copper color, tan head. Hoppy, grassy, alcoho, bitter taste. Hoppy, though no real character from the hops that sticks out, and also alcohol aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness. Hoppy, herbal, sugary, grassy, a bit oxidized hops to cheesy scent.
Well hopped up, but no distinct character to the hoppiness.

Draught at Ölrepubliken. Shady amber, medium off-white head. Fruity, piney and perfumy hop aroma on a solid malt base, a touch of alcohol. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. semi dry with medium bitterness. I remember the original homebrewed version as much better.
