Jämtlands Hell

Brewed by Jämtlands Bryggeri
Style: Premium Lager
Pilgrimstad, Sweden

Bottled. Golden, a bit cloudy, minor white foamy head. Strong hoppy and fruity aroma with hints of yeast. Strong bitter taste just like Fallen Angel and Heaven. Bitter and very dry aftertaste.

Bottle - 500ml. Hazy dark gold body topped with a lasting white creamy head. Nice and very complex malty aroma with notes of sugar, fruits, spices, cinnamon, and molasses. Nicely complex taste as well with various malty, hoppy, fruity, and spicy flavors. Finish is long and bitter. Wonderful beer!

First I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the poor label - this one deserves better. Perhaps it also should have been given a more attractive name, but I’ll leave that to the marketing department at Jämtlands bryggeri, if there is one. The taste is of a great fruity malt and bread. Nice amber colour.

Sampled with omhper, tiggmtl, MartinT, muzzlehatch, and Rastacouere in Montreal. Thanks Per for this bottle. Perfumey aroma with some piney hop notes. I smell hairspray in this beer as well. Transparent dark blonde color with a light whitish head. Light piney hops to start with a smooth malty finish. Drinkable.

Meaty but floral hop aroma seems perhaps somewhat oxidized. Clear copper coloured with white head that recedes to partial cover. Lightly hoppy citrus flavour is balanced by some sweet malts. Smooth mouthfeel if perhaps a bit simple. I must be one of the "softer-assed" Canadians! Bottle enjoyed with DYCSoccer17, MartinT, muzzlehatch, Omhper and Rastacouere.

omhper in Montreal #5 (with MartinT,tiggmtl,Rastacouere,DYCSoccer). Bottled. Very clear gold, no head...diacetyl evident in the nose and a bit of late pungent hops...light but gritty mouthfeel, strong late hoppiness, tingly with light sweetness and citrusy character...mostly quite dry. I’m strangely not as impressed with this as most of the harder-assed Europeans and Canadians...

Dark gold, honest sticky white head though diminishing. Woh! There’s quite an aroma on this Helles! generous honeyish malt is gently covered by fragrant cascade hops. Admirable cookie character, mild grapefruit. Bold, yet smooth. This is what I’d like more brewers to try with C-hops, they can make very interesting and pleasant beers when used not as the only focus. Jamtlands Hell for one is extremely balanced, quenchable. This hoppiness adds some fire to it. Finish is salty, woody. Incredibly smooth body, very soft carbonation, full bodied. This is art.

Soothing earth exhaling funky butterscotch vapors...Fluffy citrus fruit drops glisten on the few freshly-fallen apricots...A patient and pleasant resinous hop bitterness then surfaces to remain, watching back on the serenity of it all...Thanks Per!!...
