omhper (10393), Stockholm, Sweden May 6, 2008 Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Cloudy pale golden, dense head. Grassy nose. Dry, yet a bit fruity. Medium bodied with straighforward grasst salty hoppiness. Finishes with lasting salty bitterness. True to style - and a genuine surprise. Not only is it the first Swedish kellerbier in modern times, but it is also brewed by an otherwise very conservative regional brewer. I hope they continue this beer and also keep expanding their horizons, cause this is a good beer and will make me more postive minded towards Krönleins.
Svesse (1621), Hässelby, Sweden Jun 2, 2008 (Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Pale golden colour with brief, white head. Cloudy. Malty, slightly fruity nose with citrus, grassy hops and a clean and fresh malt character. Malty taste with notes of lemon, white bread, grassy hops and a slightly spicy finish. Fairly thin body with moderate sweetness. Rather different shot at the style but definitely interesting. And as omhper, I think that it’s nice that such a conventional brewer dares to try something new. This is better than most of their brews, so please keep it coming. gnoff (2560), Göteborg, Sweden May 27, 2008 (Draught at Café 3 Små Rum) On May 27, 2008 Shady straw color, small white head. Herbal hoppy taste, rather nice and fresh. Sweet, fruity and herbal hoppy scent. Spritzy mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Really nice summer beer. pilsnerrogge (1577), Finspång, Sweden May 19, 2008 Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm Pale, hazy amber with a big , fluffy head. Light body.
