Jämtlands Pilgrim

Brewed by Jämtlands Bryggeri
Style: English Pale Ale
Pilgrimstad, Sweden

500 ml bottle. Brilliant dark brown. Throws a tall off-white head that clings to the glass. Dark caramel, oaky and vanilla aromas. Rich, but slightly dry, roasted malty flavours with a clearly bitter base. Medium-bodied with not much sweetness other than the caramel malts that is hiding behind the roastedness. A well-done pale ale, a very quaffable one indeed.

(Draught at The Rover, Göteborg) Pours beautiful red/black with a white head. Soapy aroma with flowery and citrusy hops. Caramelly malt. Flowery, grapefruity bitterness in flavour with a bit of cookies. Not so complex. Sharp, soapy and a bit sour palate. A taste of minerals.

Cask, real ale, at Irish Pub in Sundsvall, Sweden. Red-brown color, beige head. Hoppy scent, very refreshing. Hoppy and bitter taste. More than average bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, but sort of a smooth feeling.

50 cl bottle. A roasty aroma with some citrus? Pours a dark brown with white foam, looks good :-) A nice, long finish.

50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Dark reddish brown colour with a nice creamy head. Nice sweet aroma with notes of caramel, little roastedness and a nice blend of hops. Great tasty flavour very smooth hoppy profil, also notes of malt and little of toffee too. Very tasty just like originale English ales.

500 ml bottle, via MrWalker. Pours a nice clear chestnut with a tight two finger off-white head. Just a few rogue bubbles lazily float to the top. Nice sweetly malty base with toffee and caramel under a light English hop aroma. A little vanilla as well. Hops are alot more aggressive in the flavor than the aroma implied. Moderate bitterness blankets any sweet malt. A slight metallic flavor comes thru late in the finish though. Mouthfeel is creamy in texture, medium bodied, with pinpiont carbonation. Overall, a pretty nice beer. Flavorful, with a nice hop profile.

Dark brown colored, slight red hints. Medium beige head. Toffee, fruits, lemon, rye, dryness and mild caramel in aroma, aroma is fine and rich. Medium bodied. Flavor is thinner: starts with caramel and some lemon, aftertaste is bitter and dry.

Lots of white foam, dark red colour. Fruty and roasted aroma. A al thin body with a lots of fruity and nice bitternes, a nice combination, werry nice .
