Style: American Strong Ale

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet and totally dominated by over ripe fruit. The flavor is sweet wtih strong notes of fresh fruit as well as lots of hops, somewhat of a hop soup, leading to a dry bitter finish. The alcohol burns slightly in the top of the throat.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Slightly hazy amber golden with a yellowish, off-white head. Fruit, caramel and a little diacety in the nose. Quite full-bodied with sweet, burned caramel, fruit and roasted malts. Lightly bitter finish with a slight underlying acidity. 190408

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear reddish brown, very brief head. Strong soapy perfumy hop aroma. fairly swee up front, boldly malty and full bodied. Salty with dense cookie malt character and a wealth of fruit and alcohol. Lingering salty bitterness. Potent and flavourful. Rather tasty, but perhaps not very refined.

Blind tasting at Papsoes place, another great session, thanks Henrik! Beer #3: Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished white head. Orange and grapefruit aroma, light woody dry note. Flavour is sweet and light acidic. Sweet caramel malt and a mild liqourice hops note lurking through. Goes into a dry and light woody finish. A bit too sweet for my liking.

Bottled. Rubyish amber colour, small head. Aroma is grapes, very wineous notes, grassy and alcoholic. Flavour is alcohol, malts, grapes (which make it very wineous). Slow to get down, but very pleasant sessionbeer.

Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with a medium sized off white head. Sweet aroma of caramel, malts, hops and grape fruits with notes of dried fruits and dusty notes. Sweet flavour of caramel, peaches, dried fruits, hops and grape fruits with notes of wood. Hoppy finish.

Standard amber colour. Fairly malty, alcoholic aroma. Fairly strong malty taste, with light caramel and a hint of alcohol. Didn’t get any pomegranate. Nor anything else distinguishing...really dull for a big-ass beer.
