Bottle shared with McTapps. Huge hoppy nose with some malty citrus in the back. Quite dry from start to end but very smoothy with a light body. Nice one, drinkable but beside the huge hops you will find nothing else which comes really big in the aroma. In the end ? Quality which could be even better with the right decisions made.

Clear deep amber colour with creamy steady head and medium to smooth body. Nose of spicy hops. Taste of bitter hops, straw, warm grass, leaves, spruce and young roses. Easy to drink despite its huge bitterness. Enjoyed it a lot.

Bottle, 4%. Clear dark brown with big light beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel and fruit. Flavour is malt, caramel, medium sweet, hop, fruit, little bitter and a little toasted.

Smak och doft av malt, humle, pumpa och violer. Lagom söt och med en behaglig beska.

50 cl bottle.
