Keg at The Rover, Göteborg. Hazy golden, small head. Distinct hop aroma; grass, grapefruit, peach, lychee and cat pee. Sweet with full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Somewhat syrupy malt, loads of tropical fruit hops. Mid bitter finish. All about the perfumed surface.

Draft. A haazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, fresh hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, spicy hops, and alcohol, leading to a bitter finish.

On tap at Ölrepubliken Göteborg. A bit hazy orange with a small white head. Fresh with pineapple, mango, grapefruit and some lime. Really hoppy and nicely bitter. The finish was dry. A solid one.

Draught @ The Rover. $12 for about 200 ml, wasn’t too happy about that. Pours tiny hazy apricot golden with a frothy and bubbly offwhite head that quickly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is tiny sweet and fruity with white bread, pink grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, mango, lemon zest, orange zest, freshly cut grass, pine needles, wine gums, lemon hard candy, lychee and hints of alcohol and dried black currants. Taste is slightly sweet, slightly bitter, fruity, tiny herbal and tiny spicy with white bread, buttered crackers, grapefruit juice, unripe pineapple, alcohol, freshly cut grass, pine needles, lychee, unripe mango, black currant leaves and star fruit. Mouthfeel is round, slightly astringent, tiny boozy and medium bodied. Finish is slightly sweet, bitter and fruity with buttered white bread, grapefruit juice, unripe tropical fruits, freshly cut grass, pine needles, orange zest, lemon zest and hints of alcohol. The nose deceives you with its brilliancy. Sadly the taste doesn’t support it...
