Feb 7, 2009 From tap at Svea, Malmö next to the EU version on bottle. Pours clear golden orange with a small white and dense head. Mild citrus to grapefruity hops aroma. Subdued caramel malty flavoured with a distinct grapefruit and slight peach flavoured base. Slowly building bitterness and fruity accents into the finish. Distinct more hoppy than the european version which has a more pronounced thistle herbal note.

Jan 31, 2009 Pours a clear golden color with some orange hues with a thin white head, before mid-point, the head totally disapeared. Interesting aroma of floral, fruity hops, toasted malt and caramel. The flavor delivers a crisp toasted malt and caramel amid some mild floral hops, there’s very mild bitterness in the end. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and medium to lively carbonation. This is a very pleasant pint of english ale to sample in the comfort of your home.

Jan 21, 2009 From a 1L bottle purchased locally. Aroma is like lemony iced tea. Color is a golden amber that is clear except for what look s like hop particles floating around. Flavor is malty, biscuity with some hop bitterness and citrusy hop flavor in the finish. Full and rich but not too sweet, but still balanced a little toward the malt. Do not expect an American IPA out of this one. This is more along the lines of an English IPA that is more balanced and malt focused. A slightly bigger pale ale.

Jan 6, 2009 I love herbal beers, or anything brewed with unique ingredients, so the thistle was great. A very sweet IPA but still plenty bitter for the rest of us. Hints of plant.

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle, bb Aug 09.
Appearance cloudy orange/brown with medium head but with floaties.
Aroma, oxidised hop,malt. Some orange trying to get through.
Sweet crystal, more sweet than bitter.
Overall, poorly packaged. Not really a IPA, to sweet, not enough hop bitterness to balance out malt sweetness. More of a PA .

Jan 3, 2009 Not much hop aromas off this at first. The flavors brought a bit of citrus in, then the hops were noticable. But even then they were quite subdued. Nice lemon citrus and touches of grass. Decent for an ale, just not an IPA lovers beer.
