Sep 12, 2009 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy copper colour, fair sized head. Roasty perfumy nose. Mid-sweet with clean, vital body. Roasty and salty, very hoppy, notes of tangerine. Strong but unassaulting bitterness. Somehow condensing what’s good about US microbrewing.

Oct 2, 2009 Bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm
Hazy amber color. Caramel aroma, sweet, malty and a bit yeasty; lightly grassy too. Medium body; caramel aroma, leaning to the dry side, not very interesting; but the hopping is a bit fruity and improves the flavor; the final shows some toffee and light residual sweetness. Good, but not impressive.

Jul 9, 2009 Bottle … Mostly clear, burnt orange ale with a mid-sized, frothy, off-white head. Great retention. Caramel and buttery pralines really stand out in the otherwise subtle nose. Full-bodied and ultra creamy with gentle carbonation. The flavor is of earthy, citrusy, and spicy hops intermingling with caramel and Munich malts. Lengthy, bitter finish.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle sampled on 7/26/09: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a stringy-lacing light beige head. Aroma of grainy sweet dark caramel malts and a touch of grassy citrusy hops. Starts with good fullness and light caramely sweetness with a touch of grapefruity hops before a toasty bittersweet finish. An ok imperial red but could use a little more complexity and hop character.
