Avenyn Ale presents a fresh citrusy aroma that is rounded off by a pleasant bitterness. This very first Dugges beer combines Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, Citra and Simcoe hops for a tropical feel.
This is one of the first beers we ever brewed. Less than one month after Dugges Bryggeri started in 2005, the first batch of Avenyn Ale was bottled. Ever since Brew Master Mikael started thinking about starting a brewery an American Pale Ale was on his mind. A hop forward ale that, at the time, really challenged your average Swedish beer drinker. This is our always and forever beer, for as long as we can remember.

500ml Bottle (One Pint,Helsinki) - Amber in colour with a lively head. Hoppy aroma with some grapefruit and pineapple notes. Quite fizzy on the tongue at first, the taste is tangy and hoppy with grapefruit and lemon with a fairly bitter finish. Rerated in 2013 - Seems to be hoppier and fresher and have increased the rating from 3.6 to 3.9

Cask at The Bishops Arms Luleå 4 Aug 08. Golden colored - almost orange. Hazy. A large head that was reduced to a decent layer clinging to the sides of the glass. Strong and lovely aroma of fruit and chewing gum. Flavor in the same direction. A dry fruity aftertaste with some sourish bitterness. Quite good.

Big offwhite lasting head. Hazy yellow body with carbonation. Fruity citric peppery hop aroma with mango and grapefruit notes. Dry grainy citric taste with peppery, fruity hop notes. Hints of resin and peas, as well as a faint sweetness. Mealy, dusty, watery mouthfeel. A bit thin-bodied. Good, but could use more body. (0.5l bottle at Tre Små Rum, Göteborg.)

On my way from Tromsø to Linköping I stopped for lunch at Bishops Arms in Stockholm and was happy to find this one on tap. 400ml served at the right drinking temperature. Hazy, dark amber body topped by a thin ring of bubbles. Aromatic floweriness of hops. In-depth flavour of sappy fruits with growing taste of hoppy bitterness. Smooth and rounded bitter ending. Medium bodied (25.01.2008).

From tap at Den Tatoverede Enke. Pours golden orange with a white head. Fruity nose, grapefruit. Rather dry flavour, same dominant grapefruit in the flavour as in the aroma and in addition it has some minor berry notes into the finish. Not much malt base as such. Ends dry, slight soapy with an interesting pineapple fruityness. Well crafted, but too dry for my liking.

Draught. Well aroma-hopped. Clear golden colour, creamy white head. The flavour is quite aroma-hopped, going into the sour zone. Lots of hops, not the bitter kind, but aromatic.
