bottle - hazy golden body with a small white head - fruity and som caramel in the nose - very well blended flavour with grape, fruit and caramel - a mild but fresh and tasty IPA, really good

Draught sample @ 3 Små Rum on November 10. Pours deep golden with a small white head that clings to the glass while dissipating. smell is fruity with some caramel and lemon zest. Taste is malty, fruity and quite floral. It’s a bit stale. To much England, not enough US. I recalled this as being better when I last tried it some 1.5 years ago.

Draught at Bishops Arms Mollbergs. Helsingborg. October 5th, 2011.
Pours hazy golden yellow with a small creamy head. Aromas of caramel, citrus fruits, grapefruit and grass. The taste is light with a maly taste of grass and caramel. Rough bitterness.

Tap @ Bishops Arms Skövde. Pours clear amber wuth a small off white head leaving lace. Aroma is piny, hoppy, malty, and some caramel. Flavor is fruity, aceton, malty and bitter. Finishes fruity bitter.

Typisk Oceankaraktär. Lite unken, jästig, brödig sötma. Så klart mycket humlearom, men inte i toppklass. Ingen tuff IPA men inte heller dålig.

50cl Bottle. Clear amber with a medium off-white head. English in style with a caramel malt, flowers, grass and oatmeal cookies in both aroma and taste. Medium bitter ending that last quite long.

From a draught at Bishop Arms in Skövde. Amber, a small white head. Hoppy a bit bitter.

An English inspired IPA from a Swedish brewery located in Gothenburg. This IPA is relatively weak, but his English bitter hops are however reasonably faithful to the original style, despite they having spent the American Cascade hops as a flavoring hop.
