In short: A very strange no-style golden beer. No short description possible. Fun to try once
How: Tap at Akkurat, Stockholm
The look: Almost clear bright shinning golden body body topped by a medium white head
In long: Nose is puzzling in the way, after smelling if for a few minutes all I could come up with is it like smelling a typical citrusy IPA and jasmine flowers over a typical Chinese restaurant orange beef dish. I know if sounds weird, but it did smell weird. Taste has honeyed malts, jasmine flowers, mangos, apricots, vegetal notes (celery?), coriander and nutmeg-ish spiciness, oranges. Mild bitterness with a spicy after-taste. Also quite a bit of residual sugars in the after-taste. Oh well, this was a strange beer for sure. Not something I would like to drink on a regular basis, but it is something I am happy to have tried once, and also I get another rating, this is my rating #5200, yeah! Not sure if I spend too much time rating beers, but I am now closer to 10,000 ratings than I am to my family.

Sample at Borefts Beer Festival 2012. Pours a hazy and copper beer with a white head. The aroma is malt and hops with melon and peach. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is bitterness. Overall a good beer.

Tap @ BBF. 12.
Pour hazy yellow, with a dense white head.
Aroma of pine, plenty of hops, slight grass, slight caramel, slight honey. Taste is slightly sweet up front, with a rather long and bitter aftertaste. Average body, with a semi-fizzy carbonation. Sure is tasty..
