A tropical, with a bit of citrus, hoppy nose.
Medium body, fruity with hints of pineapple, mango and passionfruit. Small sweetnes from the crystal malt.
Finishes pretty clean with all fruits in a delicious ending.

Sample, thanks Nisse666. Hazy light brownish with a small head. Aroma of grass, malt and light hops. The same in the taste, also some caramel. The body was medium and the finish on the dry side.

Bottle in Revsund at the launch of their company. These young chaps have made a fine first beer, cannot say how impressive it is to achieve a beer like this on a first go. Anyway. It is quite a flat beer, golden colour, with not a huge aroma (some floor smell as if it were a cask beer). The taste is very spot on however, yummy hoppy magic. The finish is crisp and overall it is very gluggable. Let’s hope they keep up the good work and improve even further. ------ Tap at Bishops Arms, Östersund. Guess it is just me rating this again. I was prepared to lower this but I ended up raising it (3.9 to 4.2). This time, this beer came across as one of, if not the best, pale ale I've had. I say pale ale, as it feels more like an IPA than an APA but hey ho. Its delicious, hoppy, some bitterness, some grassy but nothing is too much. It is smooth and juicy. I adore it. I hope they see this as they're young lads starting a company and doing very well at it. ------- Tap again at Bishops. 4.2 to 4.1. At times strange but mostly lovely mix of sweetie sweetness and grassy bitterness. --- Bottle from Systembolaget. So so damn good. 4.1 to 4.2 (17/4/18) ------ Bottle from Systembolaget. 4.2 to 4.1. Felt a bit more bland this time. (15/5/19). -------- Bottle from Systembolaget. Aroma fo cooking fat and fruity hops mixed. Far far far far too much sediment in the bottle this time; ridiclious amounts. More of a west coast taste as this beer gets older. I mean, dont get me wrong, it's still a good beer, but I feel it's lost its way a bit, especially with regards to freshness. Where's that sweet and grassy bitterness gone I mentioned earlier? :( 4.1 to 3.6.
