Todeon (131), Höllviken, Sweden May 8, 2008 Bottle. Really hoppy and citrus dominating aroma. Flavor is citrus with lots of grapefruit tones, finish is dry and bitter.
JustinBathurst (128), Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada Jul 14, 2008 Pours copper-orange, with a 1.5 cm tan head.
Aroma is lemon, pineapple, coriander, starfruit, and these poisonous vines with beautiful-smelling flowers that people plant in their gardens in Sweden. Absolutely fruity and absolutely fantastic smelling.
The mouthfeel is slick with low-medium carbonation.
The taste is pretty much how I imagine those poisonous flowers would taste if they were not poisonous (imagine that!) and apples. Quite nicely sweet, lightly bitter (true to the English style as represented around Kent). Unlike any other bitter I’ve ever had, this one is ridiculously fruity, but I like it.
A great beer. Awesome. TEJA (27), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 25, 2008 On cask at Oliver Twist.
Dry hoped with much freshness. Not so bitter and dry as the normal on bottle or on tap.
Flavours are well balanced and overpowering. A near perfect summer ale. NMC01 (24), Copenhagen, Denmark Jun 15, 2008 Updated: Jun 26, 2008Bottle 50 cl. Dry and very bitter ale. Light and refreshing with nice hoppy ending almost sort of perfumed. Nice and one of the best bitters I have tried. liinis (352), Finland Jun 9, 2008 orange golden and a bit murky. white head. Bitter as the label promises. Quite lovely bitter hops that remind me of english ale hops (?) in both aroma and flavor. very delicious, but a bit stingy and watery in the end. in the end also peppermint-like refreshing feeling. maybe a bit of a bit too fizzy, but when you leave a while in the glass it gets better. bierkoning (4611), La Tropica, Netherlands Jun 6, 2008 Bottle from TBone, thanks! Orange brown color. Blackberries and somewhat earthy hops in the aroma and flavor, lingering on in the aftertaste. Also some yeast, especially in the finish. Fairly well balanced.
