Röda Sten Ruby Pale Ale

Draught @ The Red Lion. Pours very hazy reddish goldenish brown with a small creamy reddish beige head that slowly dissipates while leaving some lacing and trace on the glass. Smell is malty and hoppy with dark bread, graham crackers, pine needles, dried apricots, freshly cut grass, oily pine and soil. Taste is very bitter and tiny malty with dark bread, whole grain crackers, caramel, oily pine, freshly cut grass, grapefruit juice, dry tobacco, grapefruit rinds, orange peal, lemon zest, soil and moist wood. Mouthfeel is crisp, astringent, dry, tiny harsh, tiny sharp and light bodied. Finish lasts forever and is very bitter with caramel, grapefruit rinds, grass, pine, wood, unripe tropical fruits and hints of dry tobacco. Quite good and very session-able.
