Dec 11, 2007 Bottled, BB 12/07. Poured clear lighter orange with a short, well-kept cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up.. well.. not a whole lot.. some lighter caramel, toffee, and light fruits for sweetness and a touch of herbal and grassy hoppage.. more toffee and some adjuncts as it warms up. The flavor had raw alcohol notes amplifying corny notes, cardboard, and a little toffee across the middle.. tacky low-to-moderate dry floral bitterness surrounding.. flatter, rough finish (did pick up some nice oranges at least). Lighter-bodied, sharp, and extra dry on the palate.. nice refreshing bitterness at the finish. Overall not a very good beer.

Dec 10, 2007 Golden color. Heavy malty aroma with some adjunct smell and light citrus hops - not very appetizing. Flavor is grainy and like sawdust with alcohol - a high alcohol ESB that tastes like crap in my opinion. Sorry Sweden, but someone will have to send me Kaggen before I like your beers. This is crap IMHO.

Dec 6, 2007 Copper, thick head. Lovely lace. Aroma has loads of citrus and some hops. Tastes like it smells, rather crisp. Not bad, but very light compared to, say, Nøgne Ø IPA.

Dec 4, 2007 11.2 oz. bottle, from slob - thanks for this new import man! Pours clear, medium orangey amber with a small white head that lingers nicely and leaves spotty lacing. Aroma features toasty and caramel malts, nice floral hoppiness, a little summer fruit and citrus along with a light dusty character. Flavor is good, again featuring the caramely and fruity malts, citrus and floral hops with hints of dusty evergreen leave a pleasant lingering bitter/astringency in the finish, and a slightly ashy aftertaste. Medium body and tingly-creamy carbonation. More of a east coast style, well balanced IPA, and quite pleasant to drink. Thanks Bert!
