2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Draught at SBWF 2009. Thick light brown head. Humungus amounts of cascade aroma. The hop taste is also huge and astringent. Small body to match such huge amounts of hops. I would class this as an pale ale.

UPDATED: NOV 6, 2010 (Bottle from Systembolaget in Märsta) It poured a slightly hazy ruby liquid with a medium sized dirty white foam. Smell and taste of hops, grapefruit, grass. Similar taste, very hoppy and with a fairly high bitterness. Just a slight off taste of metal. Fairly smooth mouthfeel. Overall a nice Amber Ale.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 18 Sep 2009) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, grapefruit and red berries. Fruity, malty taste with red berries, grapefruit, caramel, a touch of gentian root and pine needles in the finish. Solid malt structure and a generous citrussy hop character makes this a very well balanced and tasty beer. Really nice.
