Dugges Segraren 2006 Gnoffs APA

Formerly brewed at Dugges Ale & Porterbryggeri
Style: American Pale Ale
Mölndal, Sweden

(Hand bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of rickgordon/gnoff. Clear, amber golden with a tall, off-white head - shaving foam style. Fresh, citrusy nose. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel and again citrusy notes - almost vitamin-like. Rather subdued bitterness. 290607

Bottle. Huge fizzy beige head that mostly lasted. Good lacework. Light cloudy amber color. Caramel, grain, floral, grass, grapefruit, citrus and a hint of spice. Medium bodied with a dry and alcoholic texture and extremely fizzy carbonation. Light sweet flavor with moderated bitterness. Way to carbonated to the point of spoiling the fun. Bitter finish.

(Hand-bottled) Hazy amber with a huge head. Soapy-hoppy aroma with some ashiness. Blood-grapefruity, slightly soapy-ashy flavor. Medium-bodied, slightly sour palate with foamy carbonation. A quite nice APA, but could have more pronounced hops.

Bottle,courtesy of Gnoff. Thx!!!! Dep red hazy colour, and a nice creamy head! Aroma of lots of hops and fruits,and nice balnace maltyness.Thers also a bit co2 in it.Maybe because it has a stan for a wile in the bottle. Flavor :is werry champagne feeling, nice I thin,malty,and a nice fruity,citric,hopy fiish. This is a well composed beer, Nice light to medium body.and a long,fruity/hopy finish. Thanks Gnoff for giving me one of your last bottles to me.

Amber coloured, somewhat hazy. Quite decent tan head. Lots of hops and citrus in aroma, some sweetness is present. Caramelly flavour with good bitterness and some hints of grass. Well done!!

On tap at Bishops Arms, Gothenburg 2006. Dark amber, somewhat hazy, and a thin white head. Hops is dominating the aroma as well as flavour. Some malt fruitiness, and the end is bitter. A very nice one.

Bottled, courtesy of Gnoff, thanks a lot. Lightly unclear, reddish brown beer with a beige head. Very fruity aroma with lemon and grapefruit, and some malt in the back. Grapefruit and lime in the flavor, and a fullbodied, lightly drying mouthfeel. Gnoff certainly likes hops, and knows how to use them. A very refreshing beer, and I wouldn’t have thought it was only 4.8% ABV. (061124)

Bottled. Dark amber colour and with a slight haze. Tall beige creamy head. Strong hoppy aroma with something that resembles a cardboard and yeasty background, but after a while I think this is the hops, except perhaps a little oxidization. Pungent hops throughout. Yellow fruits. A hint of sweetness. Strong and bold hop flavour dominates, but is balanced by a full body. Powdery texture in the finish most likely because of the hops. Woody notes and a little grass. A very distinctive pale ale. (Thanks, Knut Albert)
