The mere fragrance made me stumble. Ohh ... one of them. one of the really good ones. And it was. I wish it wasn’t so hard to discribe... the hoppiness, not too dry - not too sweet - the freshness fuyll of hope for spring, the balanced bitterness, the malt, the lingering aroma, the restrained acidy sidetones. No smoke here, no tar, no bread or raisins. but what the hell - winter is soon to be over. They’ll be welcome back in a few months. I was lucky to get three of the 10340 bottles made. Great beer!

Bottle. Orange color with a nice white head, leaving some lacing. Wonderful fruity, apricot aroma with some floral and citrusy notes. Refreshing, hoppy flavour with notes citrus, apricot and pine needles. Very good, bitter finish for a 4,6% pale ale. Palate is a bit thin, the carbonation is soft. Very drinkable beer.

Hazy golden color, small white head. Fruity, pineapple hoppy nose - very nice. Flavor is less hoppy. It is aromatic but same time metallic. A bit yeasty. Overall nice 4.6 % ale from Sweden.

Bottle huge thanks to a random sweed! Aroma is wow, bursting with hops, citrus, yellow grapefruit, lemon, grassy hay character. Taste is also an attack on the tougne with hops, very bitter and citrusy, but in the scandinavian way(new zeland hops?) rather than the american way. Soo fresh and appealing, georgous stuff and i wish i could get this all the time. One faly from making it in my top 50 beers of all time, it seems slightly over carbonated.

(Bottle) Pours amber with an off white head. The aroma is medium hoppy with tones of flowers, citrus - juicy oranges, apricots and a touch of mild pine and resin. Background of toasted, light caramel-ish malt and some hints of doughy yeast. Very fresh, fruit/floral like nose. The flavour have a good hop base with citric tones of orange/orange peel and mild pink grapefruit. Flowers, apricot and some resiny wood is also present in the hop mix. Toasty, light caramel-ish backbone. The mouthfeel is dry, woody and clean with a sting of creaminess. Earthy and woody tones lingers in the aftertaste. Light sweet and medium to medium full bitterness. Medium bodied. A really nice pale ale.
