When we began to think about a series of bolder beers with higher alcohol content we wanted to elucidate it to our consumers. Therefore, we call this series of beer Thurbo. Our neighboring village is called Turbo and we chose to go with the old spelling of that village. We’ve used big amounts of munchener malt that contributes with a malt sweetness and a touch of biscuitness. The residual sweetness takes the edges of the high alcohol content and the bitterness. The hop varieties lend a mixed bag of grape and citrus with slight herbal elements.

Aug ’14. A 0.33 l bottle from Systembolaget, Upplands Väsby. It poured hazy copper-orange body with a small head atop. Strong hoppy aroma where citrus was dominating, discernible Cascade and Citra. Malty as well, tropical fruits, biscuit, rather complex. Flavor was bitter but also sweet, as expected. It followed the aroma and its complexity for the style, even widened that palette a little bit more - dry, sharp citrus and herbal hop "spikes" were filled in with smoothing tasty biscuit, fruit (apricot and tropical), vanilla and honey. There were some different herbal spicy flavors, too. Alcohol was perfectly hidden in its full and creamy body. Long delicious finish that pronounced again both fruitiness and bitterness followed. Very good one, true it’s typical but excellent in that typicality!

330 ml bottle from Systembolaget Passagen, Stockholm.
Amber, clear body, with a medium, creamy, white head.
Aroma of grapefruit, tropical fruits, peach, resin, some pine, caramel, some grass.
Tastes of pine, citrus, resin, peach, some tropical fruits and lots of smooth malts, like biscuit, caramel and honey.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes bitter, a bit dry, zesty, piney and also sweet malty.
Tasty! Pretty much how a nice DIPA should be: Very hoppy, but also with a full, smooth malt backbone. It isn’t the most unique, there are lots of DIPAs that tastes like this, but it is clean, crisp, greatly balanced and really quaffable.

33cl bottle from Systembolaget, Strömstad.Pours clear golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of pine, tropical fruits, caramel, cat piss and hints of citrus and herbs. Fairly sweet with a pine, herbal and fruity flavours and a bitter finish. Aftertaste is bitter with lightly citrusy and herbal notes. Strong, sweet and quite hoppy, but tasty and fairly easy to drink.

0,33 flaske hos Einar, nov-14: etter Dogfish Head 90 Minute sank denne til bunns som et strykejern. Fint utseende, men vammel i aroma. Kattepiss og begynnende kompost. Einar slo ut sin, jeg var tapper og svelgte unna. Nytt forsøk, denne gangen i form av en flaske fra Systembolaget Visby, på terassen i Tingstäde: klar gylden med flott skum. Herlig og frisk sitrusaroma, og i smaken kommer også tropiske frukter inn for fullt. Solid maltkropp gir god balanse. Søtlig avslutning med grapefruktbitterhet. Opp fra opprinnelige 2.4 (var den utgått på dato forrige gang?).

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BBE Feb 2015, thanks SaintMatty, 20141102) The beer poured pale amber and almost clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, pine and resin. Palate was medium bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, resin, sweetnss, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A nice and clean Double IPA. Booze pushed through a bit too much.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear golden with a white head. Sweet fruity nose, citrusy hops as well, but the sweetness dominates. Rich, sweet malty nose, very fruity. Solid hoppiness leaving a bitter bite, but not overly aromatic though. Solid though. 160914

Bottled 330ml. -Hazy golden/amber coloured, small off-white head, hops and caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, grapefruity hoppy and caramel with bready notes. Alcohol is well hidden, just discreet touch in the finish. Subdued bitterness in the aftertaste. Not bad at all.
