Mar 24, 2009 Pours amber and hazy with a white head. Smells of sweet caramel, citrus, oaky. Tastes dry and uninspired with a sweet citrussy finish and lots of bitterness hanging around.

May 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured a hazy brown body with thin head. Aroma is hops, some wood. Flavor is malty, lightly bitter hoppiness and some oak. Odd bitterness to it.

Nov 28, 2007 12 oz. bottle pours an amber colored fluid with a slight white head. Smell is woody, with smoked malts, and a subtle hop aroma. Medium bodied with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Taste has a strong malt presence followed by a tasty hop bitterness.
A unique taste here, definately not your typical West Coast IPA. nov 2004.... 2007 update : with all the barrel aged beers nowdays, how come there’s not more aged IPA or DIPA’s out there? Because this beer wasn’t a huge success doesn’t mean the style is not suited to aging, does it ?

Nov 26, 2007 Had this beer on 3/20/1999 when it was known as Woodstock IPA. Color is a deep gold with a touch of brown, carbonation is good but head seems a bit thin. Aroma is a lightly sweet malt scent. Taste is very oakey, reminds me of Jack Daniel’s. It starts with a medium body as it goes down and oak taste begins. The finish begins with the oak flavor taking on a sharpness and some mild bitterness comes through. Overall the oak makes for a little too sharp of a bite for me but I think this is what they wanted it to be like. It’s probably a good beer for when you feel like having a Whiskey but don’t want to drink hard alcohol.

Aug 22, 2007 An enjoyable IPA with a good character, although for me not one that stands out in any way either. If I could buy this beer regularly, I might drink it occasionally as a table beer but do not consider it one to seek out as a special one.

Jun 28, 2007 Bottle @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Sweet malty slightly hoppy aroma. Sweet malty hoppy flavor with some oak hints and hints of grapefruit. Sweet malty finish with a hoppy bitter aftertaste.
Svesse (2597), Hässelby, Sweden
May 10, 2007 (Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Amber colour with brief white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of rubber, oak and dried fruit. Fruity taste with balanced notes of hops, dried fruit, wood, vanilla and rubber. Rather sweet. Tasty and nice, well balanced. But can’t help feeling something is missing (some dry hopping?).

Feb 19, 2007 Poured a clear copper color with a small head that dissapated to a thin cap. The nose was of orange and grapefruit meat along with some grassy notes. The taste started with a nice balance of light malt, yeasty fruit, and citrusy/sprucy hops. Notes of oak, vanilla, toasty breads and caramel malts appear in the end; followed by a solid bitterness in the finish that rise up to leave it dry and refreshing. This isn’t a text book IPA, but it is really good, reasonably complex, and very easy to drink. You can’t ask for more than that... can you?
