draft at Avenue Pub in New Orleans. clear gold. biscuit and cracker malt is honey sweet, carbonation is soft, body is thin and texture is silky. noble hops are restrained, adding a soft layer of dried grass and dried lemon peel on top of the honey-sweet cereal grain. watery texture late, dissolving quickly. mild hop acid buzz lingering. decent.

Pour is a tarnished gold with thin fizzy head. Smell is very herbal hoppy citrus green veggies. Taste is cardamom white pepper green peppers.

1/21/12. On tap. Slightly hazed orange pour with a nice off-white head. Fresh malty, bready aroma with grassiness. Nice malty caramel and toasty aspect with more hoppy grassiness. Quite nice, actually.

On tap at Avenue Pub. Pours a cloudy yellow with small off white head. The aroma is a wheat and fruit. Thin mouthfeel with dry fruit. A decent bitter.

Bottle. Amber with a small head. The lovely aroma is composed mainly of resiny pine forest, with the addition of white grapes, strawberries and apples, plus some bready malt and subtle toffee. Medium body, soft carbonation and mouthfeel, bready-fruity taste, finishing with a medium, rather narrowly scoped bitterness and leaving behind an aftertaste of pine forest. This is a truly remarkable combination of an English style beer with American hops that also by way of its aroma carries the mind away to the forests of Scandinavia it hails from.

Det här var en mer spännande än god ölupplevelse, men ändå är det en hyfsad öl. Kroppen är lite tunn och smaken är lite fadd och märklig. Av någon märklig anledningen kan jag känna toner av ’makrill i tomatsås’ men det är nog bara jag som är vimsig. Enligt etiketten skulle ölen innehålla både cascade och chinook humle, men cascadesmaken lyser med sin frånvaro och det kan vara chinooken som jävlas med mina smaklökar. Men som sagt var det en spännande ölupplevelse i alla fall.

500 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget and consumed on January 12. Pours reddish brown with a fizzy white-ish head that leaves lots of trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is slightly sweet with caramel, orange zest, grapefruit, hints of pine and bread. Taste is malty and rather bitter with bread, red grapefruit, orange zest, pine and a rather weird seaweed taste. Finish is malty sweet and bitter.

Bitter beer with a grounded homebrew taste. Missing aroma hops, has only bitterness. sorry I’m so tough when it taste OK.
