Serve in Lager glass, Shaker

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.
