Ölands Amarillo

On tap at 3 Små Rum, Gothenburg. Pours a clear, copper body with a small, beige head. Slightly smoked on the nose, with malts and a touch of alcohol. Citrusy, piney hops to balance it. There’s a smoked touch to the flavor too, with caramel, some alcohol, citrus and pinecones. Quite sweet towards the finish, but also some bitterness and citrus. Full body. A quite unusual beer I think, but easy to drink and flavorful. (080709)

Draught. Clear copper with white head. Earthly tones and some floral tones. A touch of dry hops. Dry finish.

Draught@3 Små Rum, Göteborg. A clear reddish brown beer with a thin yellowish foamy head. Medium sweet caramellish malt aroma paired with a fresh lemony and grapefruity hop scent. Peppery notes. Very tasty; light sweet malts, an acidic fruitiness, pepper notes again, and strong, almost piney, but still well rounded hopbitterness. Healthy body. Lingering bitter-fruity finish. Very nice.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours amber with thin head. Slightly hazy. A hint of phenolics at first. Then a nice herbal fragrance with a hint of pine and citrus. Medium to dry palate with dry hoppiness on a sweet malt and alcohol base. Nice but slightly problematic in the fermantation part.
