On tap @ EBF. Slightly dim orange body with a huge, creamy off-white head. A soft aroma of hay and bitter citrus fruit. Flavor is fruity, bitter and some caramel. A nice and relatively bitter IPA with an undefined hop flavor.

Amber with a lasting off-white head. Grassy aroma with a little apple peel. Sweet malty flavour with a bitter finish.

Draught @ Bishops Arms Vasagatan. The brew is dark amber in colour with a little white foam. Hoppy in taste but finishes quite fast.

From tap at YNWA. Pours hazy orange with a crdamy and lacing white head. Aroma is fruity and dark malty with a mild spice note. Light acidic too. Flavours is a mix of spices and somewhat herbal to floral with a light roasted caramel malt base. Light bitter and continued sweet-ish finish.

(Draught, as Hantverksbryggeriet IPA, at Gastropub Nordic on 2008-08-08) Amber and clear. Dirty brown stained white big head. Sour and hoppy nose. Medium-bodied dry palate. Sour taste with lightly roasted malts, bitterness and fruitiness. The sourness makes me wonder whether there has happened some error in brewing process.

Draught @ Svea, Malmö. Pours a hazy orange color with a longlasting off-white head. Malty hoppy grapefruit aroma. Sweetish malty bitter hoppy flavor with some grassy hints. Sweet malty hoppy finish with a long bitter aftertaste.

(Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse, Stockholm, 25 Feb 2008) Dark amber colour, slightly hazy, with huge frothy beige head. Fruity, malty nose with caramel, orange and citrussy hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, orange, pink grapefruit and balanced amounts of citrussy hops in the finish. Mainly dry, medium body, a bit short finish. Nice IPA.

Golden color, big head. Aroma of yeast and the hop cupboard, it smells like a brewery at work. Toffee-styled Golden ale, spiced and robustly hopped, no thrills.

Beautiful hazy copper color; big creamy head. Nice hop aroma, delicate, earthy, with light fruits and resins. Mellow flavor, malty, sweet toffee, with good hopping, very well aromatic, a bit fruity and resiny. Long and strong final. Very well brewed and pleasant.

Draught. Weak. fruity, citric aroma. Almost clear amber colour. Small, creamy white head. The flavour is quite clean, fruity and citric in the good way. Late bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel.
