The aroma is hoppy, but also with some malt.The flavor is malty and of course hoppy - could be a brown ale in my opinion.

<i>(4,7% abv- label)</i> Orangey amber with thick pale head. Nose has nutty maltiness with piney & flowery hops. Flavor fully malty and crisply hopped. Medium bodied, round and smooth mouthfeel. Perhaps not that complex, but truly an ideal session IPA. ( 8/4/8/4/16)
Re-rate: Had it a few times after the first rating. Pretty basic piney hoppiness, some nuttiness and toffee malts. A tad metallic and stuffy, though drank far before BBE. Pretty average after all. (6/4/7/3/14)

Amber/ orange color, compact head. not so good retention. Aroma of dog food (I wonder if this explains the choice for the name of the brewery), citrus, some caramel and a faint lactic character. Flavor is a bit dull, unidimensional, some caramel sweetnesss as well as earthy and grapefruit bitterness. Body is medium. Not too complex nor well balanced. Nothing really shines here.

12oz from Sparky27 - thanks, Eric! Nice gold-to-orange color with a crisp floral smell. Very light and lively body, effervescent in a way that benefits the hop profile. Some malts for smoothness. Easy drinking, unremarkable, but sessionable.

Aroma is sweet malt with balanced amount of citrus and pine hops. Toffee malt flavor has same citrus and pine hop characteristics. Dry and bitter aftertaste is quite long. Nice.

Bottled at Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear pale orange colour with a frothy white lasting white foam. Grapefruity hops, red apples and soap in the aroma with grainy undertones. Medium-bodied with touches of grapefruit, soap and orange-peels. Clean and a bit short finish of grapefruit, grass and oranges. A very careful example but still quite nice.

Bottle. Pours orange with an off white head. Aroma is sweet citrus, and caramel. Reminds me off the dish-soap my girlfriend uses. Medium/thin body. Flavor is grapefruit rind and other citrus. Not bad i guess.

Almost bright golden amber. Some white average head. Spicy noble hop arom, some fruitiness. Good bitterness, quickly disappearing. Flat hop taste, some noble flavor. Thick palate, some liveliness.
