Orange colored with cloudy appearance and particles of yeast. Medium sized yellow head. Strong hops and flowers in fruity aroma. Medium bodied. Hops are more dominant and bitter in flavor, mild peach and flowers also here. Good one, still could be more complex.

Bottle. Tre Små Rum. Gothenburg. Cloudy orange colour with a big off-white head. A lot of juicy tropical fruits, pine, citrus, pine-apple, caramel, grass. Very lovely aroma. Fruity and sweet at first, then bitter and hoppy. Just a bit sourish. Dry and bitter finish. Maybe a bit too much carbonation. Re-rated 090608.

11.2 oz bottle. Foggy orange brown with veils of suspended particulate and a whipped white head. Nose is perfume, dough and light citrus peel. Medium light, kind of chewy, with a spritz. Taste is orange cotton candy, spearmint and pith. Green, resiny, soap and cat pee. Nice aggresive hops smooth out with warming.

Pure hop aroma, like lime zest and fresh herbs. Perfectly balanced, not sweet, but enough malts to keep it together. Mouthfeel is just superb. World class.

Large tan head, retention is good and the lacing is abundant and sticky. Hazy light copper gold hued brew. Citrusy nose, lightly earthy, grassy. Med/light body, lightly oily on the palate, somewhat acidic. Light fruity flavors, inky, with some dry malty notes, citrus and some disttracting soapy notes as well. Dry, fruity finish is lightly astringent and biting. meh.
