(on bottle)A allmost fat aroma, butterscotch. A malty body a tendese too water out, but it IS a EPA, so what´s the hazle about a lght taste with a big nose?Good light hopping in the end; the kind of beer thats just good to drink, not hve an orgastic experience with.

Deep golden color with a white head. The taste is water with some grassy notes. Kind if boring.

Cask @ Akkurat, Stockholm
Dry hopped with Bramling Cross(?). Malty nose, too malty, almost sour, taste, though not off; it’s their own malt’s fault.

Orange to golden color, with a small white head. Yeast, some hoppy aromas and some sharpness in the nose. Flavor is pleasant and balanced with some malt, and good floral hoppiness in the end. Veru nice hopped beer. Good thirst quencher!

Orange golden body, nice foamy off-white head. Weak malty and hoppy aroma, somewhat metallic. Flavor is quite thin of malt and yeast with some hay and caramel tones in the background. An ok taste but very thin and watery.

(Bottled, BBE 05/2007) Clear, dark copper with a smallish, off-white head. Aroma of diacetyl (when pouring), buttery-caramely toffee, currant leaves, some aromatic hops, and toasty malt. Grainy-malty, caramely-toffeeish, earthy and roasty flavor with a dry, aromatic-bitter and very ashy finish (almost like licking an ashtray). Medium-bodied, ashy and foamy-carbonated palate. Interesting - but I’m not sure if I love ashtrays that much... (Bottled, BBE 02/2004, rated 3/29/2004, was 4-3-5-3-10=2.5) Amber color, small head. Hoppy, malty aroma. Bitter, sourish and slightly skunky (old bottle). Medium-bodied, quite carbonated palate. Not much personality, but a decent ale.

Some orange notes in the aroma. Flavor of malt, orange, rowan berries and the danish 'hyben'. Sour palate.

Golden, with a wonderful head, that looks like whipped cream. Has a fresh aroma. Flavor from almond, with a mild finish. Very fresh and very good.
