Commercial Description:
Translation from the label. "Already in the 17th century lobster from Bohuslän was sent to The Royal Court in Stockholm. Our swedish lobster hav ethroughout the centuries defended it's position as a delicacy worthy kings. Just in time for the lobster season has brewmaster Robert Bush - Grebbestad Bryggeri along with sommelier Niclas Pihl - Restaurang Sjömagasinet and the Swedish Lobster Academy created a beer, HUMMER. The beer is especially suitable to lobster and other seafood. The brew is limited to approx. 20000 bottles. The hand crafted HUMMER is a full malt beer. Among the malt varieties used is, alongside pilsner-and caramell malt also wheat malt, which gives HUMMER a soft and fresh character with some acidity. The German hop variety Perle and the American Cascade is in hormony with the flavour of seafood." NB. Hummer is swedish for lobster.

Vintage 2002.
Pours unclear orange golden with a white head. Sweet aroma with a fusty and meaty tone. Sweet in the flavor as well. Earthly tone, I believe it is over the top!

Cloudy blond color. Ripe (too much) malty aroma. Very much honeyish. Too old!

Bottled. Golden coloured. Beige quickly diminishing head. Sweet and malty aroma. Light hopped. Flavour is light herbal and sweet. Not much in the end. Maybe its a little too old. I’ll rerate some day.

Golden colour with a dense rocky white head. Attractive aroma of herbs, citrus and toffee. Malty flavour of grass, honey and bread. Nice hoppy finish with notes of citric fruits. A very nice pale bock. To bad it's so rare. Thanks to my friend Jeppe for bringing me it.

This beer has a lovely aroma of sweet malt and hops with notes of oranges. Mine was a slightly hazy orange with a beutiful though collapsing head. Maybe the hazyness is because mine was somewhat out of date. Lovely flavor of malt sweetness blending very well with aroma hops. It has notes of lemon and oranges. It ends on a slight bitterness that lingers - a really well done beer. Many thanks go to Per.

Odd, thing about this beer, on the first sip I tasted the Cascade, not in an overwelming fashion, but by the end the Cascade was over shadowed by the malt. Light yellow color, sweet, malty, slighty piney aroma. Mostly malt flavor, but the Cascade is there for the tasting. Unusual bock, due to the hops, but one I really enjoyed. Many thanks Per.
