[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] An amber beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and hops - without being extreme. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and straw. The mouthfeel is slightly sticky.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Hoppy aroma. Medium body with weak notes of caramel. A whiff of pineapple perhaps? Some aroma hops, but I don’t really find the hops clean, crisp or citrusy. Extremely dry, hoppy finish. 110606

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear copper colour, small head. Dry and really malty, yet hop dominated. Lychee and pine needles are predominant, and the finish is strikingly bitter.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized beige cereamy head. Grassy and hoppe aroma and flavour. Not very complex nor very interesting.

wonderful lace, picking up a lot more bitterness with a long bitter finish that throws it off balance

Draught, Archer Ale House, Bellingham

Copper-amber colour with a caramel-tinged foam. Aroma shows caramel and toast, plus earthy hops (seems like a blend including EKG). Earthy, slightly pithy bitterness with slight cocoa character. A well-balanced ESB of an IPA.
