Jan 25, 2009 bottle - Enjoyed to celebrate inauguration day. This brew pours copper with a thin, light tan head. It has a very good pine and citrus hop aroma with an undercurrent of caramel malt. The flavor is a well balanced blend of the above with a medium to full body. The alcohol is just detectable in the flavor. It finishes with some lingering bitterness. It didn’t blow me away, but it’s a very enjoyable quaff.

Jan 24, 2009 (Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 22 Jan 2009) Amber colour with firm, rocky, beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with pine needles, orange peel and very fresh hops. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, orange peel, pine needles and resin. Fairly sweet, but the sweet, caramelly malt is brilliantly balanced by the citussy, piney hops. Lovely beer!

Jan 24, 2009 Pours burnt orange amber with a 3 finger creamy beige head that has good retention. Aroma is of pine, citrus, caramel malt, a strange tartness and a heap of peppery spice. Flavor is lighter than expected. Pine hops, toast, a little caramel, a little grapefruit, lots of black pepper spiciness. The finish is pretty strage, good but strange. The pine and pepper spice linger on while a pineapple and bitter hop finish take over, pretty crisp for a big beer. Not bad, kind of what I would think an Imperial APA would be like.

Jan 22, 2009 This is a strange beer, but i thought it was great. Aroma is like a pale/ipa, citrus, fruity. It has alot of spiciness, pepper. Finish is hoppy, but there is alot of interesting malt too. It’s everything at once, kind of like Obama!

Jan 22, 2009 Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear amber, rocky head. Intense peachy perfumy nose. Sweet and full bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Aggresively hopped, but with style and a rock solid body as back drop. The sweetness ends up a bit sticky and n combnation with the immense bitterness it borders to ink.

Jan 21, 2009 Bottle, poured an orange amber with an off white head. Aroma of chewy caramel, fresh citrus hops, with hints of pine and flowers. Malt was sweet and almost like bubblegum in terms of taste. Alot of pine and grapefruit in the finish. Perhaps a bit past its prime, but it still had many good qualities. Nice palate.
