SaintMatty (3600) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - MAY 22, 2012
500ml Bottle - Copper coloured with a small head. Toffee, malt and grapefruit in the aroma. Nicely balanced taste with notes of grapefruit, malt, toffee, nuts and dried fruit. The ’west coast’ (USA, not Göteborg!) influence is evident, yet rather subtle. I tried this on cask at Oliver Twist and the hops seemed to be more pronounced. With this in mind, my rating would’ve been 3.4 for the bottle, but is 3.5 after sampling the cask version.

SirLimpsalot (1611) - SWEDEN - MAY 2, 2012
Jag försöker verkligen att lägga mig i lite extra för att inte såga den helt, men det är svårt. Doft och smak är mycket diskret och jag kan inte skriva annat än vatten och humle med en viss beska. Det blir för tunt och blaskigt.
