Hops flovors were citrusy.piney, and lingering bitterness. Alcohol was well balance. Overall: I wasn’t sure what I would think of this one, but it was tasty and quite pleasant.

Bottle via Hophead22. Pours a murky brownish red with thin qhite head. Aroma evident of floral hops, malt, pine, and sweetness. Flavor is similar with an addition of dried fruit and an pleasant alcohol burn. Normally this is bad, but with this one it was good. VERY pleasant aftertaste.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 April 2009) Reddish amber colour with foamy, beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, blood oranges and lots of citrussy, slightly rubbery, hops. Fruity, malty taste with caramel, blood oranges and generous doses of citrussy, piney hops in the finish. More than medium body. Good balance between the generous amounts of hops and a solid crystal malt foundation. Lovely beer.
