3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Medium white coarseish head. Paleish yellow body. Resiny straw aroma with fruity notes and some roasted almonds. Dry-sweet roasted almonds and dry straw taste with resiny notes. Dusty mouthfeel. Dry grainy chalky aftertaste.
The owner of Tre Små Rum (Reza) gave me a sample from bottle as well, to go with the draft version I ordered. That had a lot more aroma with more emphasis on fruit and malts. The taste was not more powerful than from draft, but showed the same difference in emphasis. The bottled version was also lightly acidic and rubbery. I preferred the draft version.
(0.3l draft at Tre Små Rum, Göteborg.)

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at The Rover, Göteborg. Pours a nice clear golden color, and has a very nice offwhite head. Aroma brings fruity notes, but most of all hops and some yeast. Grassy, hoppy flavor, spicy, a bit fuity.v Quite hoppy finish but still a rather laid back IPA.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: APR 23, 2008 Loved the porter at last year’s Stockholm beer festival but was a little disappointed with this lightweight IPA. On draft at the BA in Trollhättan. Poured like a nitro brew, with a huge creamy head and cloudy orange body (defect?) A suggestion of oranges in the taste, but drowned out by the buttery diacetyl flavours. Don’t think this beer was in optimal condition.Very little hop bite, which considering today’s trends in IPAs is a missed opportunity for this young microbrewery.
