Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Hazy blond color; medium sized stiff head. The aroma is powerful, but not what expected; the hop is very nice, and aromatic, a bit germanic, a bit sweaty, and with some apple (strange), no signs of citrus fruits. Even if the body is not stong, the mouthfeel is quite round, also helped by a not-too-strong carbonation; dry toffee flavor, but with some fructose sweetness; very strong bitterness, resiny, with a lot of pine needles and, finally, just some bitter oranges. The final, with a light trace of apples (again?) Is less interesting, strong but just resiny (soft resins). Enjoyable (but nothing to compare to the Mikkeller, just in case you wonder).

Draught. From notes. Hoppy with citrus and fruit, refreshing and drinkable. Hope to drink it again for a better rating.

Draft @ Bishops Arms, Malmö. ours a slighty hazy pale golden color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity fresh hoppy grapefruit aroma. Fruity malty hoppy bitter flavor with hints of grapefruit. Has a fruity malty hoppy bitter finish.

Draught at Monks Cafe Stockholm. Very fresh and refreshing citrusy hop taste and aroma, it delivers everything you could expect from a fresh APA

On-tap. Bishops Arms Avenyn, Göteborg. Yellow colour with a white head. Hoppy, fruity, citrus, grass, maybe some rhubarb and gooseberries. Bitter, grassy, dry finish. Excellent refeshing ale. I really love these hoppy lower abv single hop beers from Närke.

(Draught at Monk’s Wallingatan) Poured golden and almost clear. Head was quite large, long lasting and white. Aroma contained fruitiness and resin. Palate was medium bodied withe medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, resin, fruitiness, grain and bitterness. Aftertaste contained resin and bitterness. Refreshing and pleasant.

Draught at 3 små rum. Cloudy golden coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of hops, grass and citrus with notes of grape fruits. Fruity flavour of hops, citrus, grass and grape fruits. Dry hoppy finish.

Draught at café 3 små rum, Göteborg, Sweden. Pale golden, medium white head. Wonderful hoppy aroma with oranges, dark berries, and the typical Närke plum ester notes. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Dry with a nice long bitter finish.

Draught at 3 Små Rum. Pale golden colour, airy cottony head. Sweet orangey nose, along with plain citrus. Dry hoppy from start to finish. Really absent in maltiness, but the dark plum is there as a a house character, from the yeast. A bit of Gin & Tonic here, with the dry, puckering bitterness. No balloon here, which is common with hoppy low abv beers. A clean beer, with no off- flavours whatsoever and a medium bitterness.

Draft. A hazy yellow beer with a creamy off-white head. The aroma has lovely notes of hops, grass, and elderflowers. The flavor is sweet wtih strong notes of grass, hops, and citrus as well as lighter notes of elderflowers, leading to a bone dry finish. Very refreshing.
