Aug 18, 2008 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear pink/amber, small creamy head. Light mango aroma. Sweet and clean with light-medium body. Quite fruity with some unexpe4cted cocoa. Finishes slightly metallic with medium bitterness. The primitive, hard malt character is the biggest drawback.

Oct 5, 2008 Clear amber color. It starts with a quite nice hop aroma, almost fleshy, meaty; then it turns more into toffee. Medium body, with a sweet toffee flavor, soft mouthfeel, strong but not aggressive bitterness. The hops show both some resiny and fruity character, but the final gets a cookie character too. An original American Pale Ale.

Mar 3, 2008 Pours a transparent bright copper with a large airy, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasted malt and some piny resinous hops. Body starts lightly sweet and toasty malty with some fairly fresh piny bittering and flavor hops before a crisp, drier finish. Hops aren’t quite as assertive as I like in an IPA, but this one’s quite drinkable and smooth.
