Outspoken abv but not offputting. Jammy yeast and hops. A grower, but alcohol sodden. Mouth warm with alcohol but pretty nondescript. Plenty of saazy conifer, savoury hop,yeast , bitterness. Well-hopped, unsticky, earthy Tripel but lacking something at 9%. Murky. yngwie (3894), Kristiansand, Norway Nov 19, 2008 Bottle. A hazy, golden-orange beer with lots of micro-floaties, and topped by an off-white head. Lacings. Slightly fish-like on the nose, with pale malt, grains, fruit, citrus and some spices and hops. Citrusy, herbal and fruity flavor with a good bitterness. Full-bodied, dry mouthfeel. Bitter finish with citrus. A quite nice beer, but the initial aroma was strange and surprising.
