Can 35,5 cl. Pours an almost clear orangey brown with a small and creamy, lacing beige head. Biscuity and caramellish nose with a hint of citrusy hops - archetypal American. Rich, sweet caramel body, lowish carbonation - bordering a Doppelbock. A little late balancing hops. An Old Ale can be so many things, this is one take on the style and I quite enjoyed it. 040320

Canned, from Systembolaget. Leakage problem, can not properly sealed, hence low on CO2, but not flat. Caramelly nose with hay and citrus. Mid sweet with medium to full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Deep caramelly, bready malt. Lots of citrusy, spicy hops atop. Long bitter finish. The low CO2 is actually working in its advantage.

Burk från SB. Julöl 2019. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad klar vätska med lågt krämigt beige skum. Fin maltig doft med mycket knäck och karamelliserat socker, kolaremmar, syltiga apelsinskal och granbarr. Fina smaker och välbalanserat med fokuset på malten men med snyggt komplimenterande humlefruktighet. Känns som den fyller den lilla luckan mellan Oppigårds winter ale och Great Divides Hibernation och den är lika brasom båda två som ju får räknas som svenska julölsklassiker. Kanske har vi fått en ny? Riktigt gott iaf.
