Jämtlands Hell

Brewed by Jämtlands Bryggeri
Style: Premium Lager
Pilgrimstad, Sweden

Did not take any notes so this is from what I remember: Probably the most well hopped yellow lager I’ve had so far. It almost tastes like an IPA. Poured in the glass it’s intense yellow with thick lasting head. Aroma is hops. Taste is hops and to a lesser extent malt. It’s very dry and bitter. A fav!

(Draught at The Rover, Göteborg) Golden yellow with a whith head. Aroma of malt, toffe and wet dog. Fudge. Some citrus and fruits. The flavour starts of round and malty. Butter and toffe. Continues quite grapefruity hoppy for a lager. Orangepeel, grass and grape. It finishes off with bitter butter. A bit metal taste in the end.

Golden, white head, laces; Big nose, quite 1-dimensional, some bitter malt, a little piney hop, buttery; pricking carbonation, quite bitter and dry; medium long quite bitter dry 1-dimensional watery finish, with a little orange but mostly just malt. The kind of beer that I cant be bothered to finish.

50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Golden clear colour with a nice frothy head. Nice aroma of fine balanced hops with notes of sweet maltness. Very fine and nice flavour of caramel and with a good combination of hops. Ends up quite bitter, very very nice endeed.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 June) Colour is golden yellow, with hints of copper. Firm rocky head, slowly diminishing. Nose is hoppy and flowery with hints of nuts and toffee, dried fruit and citrus (grapefruit, Seville orange). Taste is hoppy, starts somewhat sweet, turns into a long, dry, hoppy finish. Lovely hop character, dominated by Cascade hops. Hints of nuts and honey. Brilliant, this has been a favourite since it’s release, and it never tastes as good as it does draught at Akkurat or Oliver Twist in Stockholm.

Bottle. Golden colour with a fast disappearing white head. Hoppy, resiny aroma. Flavour is similar with a bitter finish. Light to medium body, average carbonation.

Golden, slight hazy colour with a white head. Malty aroma with a cereal note and a floral hoppyness. Hoppy and bitter flavor with a light malty cereal note.
