At only 3.5%, Iron Age has an outstanding depth to it. Ruby red in colour, it is packed with aromatic fruity hop characteristics (the initial hop bitterness is balanced with a smooth malty caramel body and a complexion of rich fruity aromas with hints of berry fruit). Available in a 330ml bottle or a larger 500ml to share, Iron Age is great partner to hearty food dishes. Anyone for seconds?

Flaska från ICA supermarket i Enskededalen. Bärnstensfärgad, medelstort skum som lämnar mycket rester. Stor och framförallt grön humlig doft med gräs, blommor, harz och örter med karamell i bakgrunden. Smaken är också den mest fokuserad på humle. Ganska kärv beska för stilen och en smakbild som går i linje med doften, rejäl kropp för alkoholstyrkan. En riktigt bra bitter med mycket humle.

Gravity served at Colchester Beer Festival. A fairly unattractive brown colour, with minimal head. Quite bitter, hoppy, floral and fruity with distinct raisins.

Bottle from ICA Viksjö. Clear amber with a small, slightly tan head. Aroma and taste of fruit, some light spices, light roasted malt and toffee. The finish was bitter. Descent for being a 3,5% beer.

Mörk rubinröd. Högt skum som sakta avtar. Påtaglig doft av karamell, kola och humle. Något kort och vattnig smak. Annars helt ok.

First rating: Medium pale beige head, slightly coarseish. Clear deep dark red body with carbonation. Deep dried fruit and dark wood aroma with spicy wild berry notes. Dry-sweet roasty dried fruit and wood taste with oily roasty cocos notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dryish roasty cocos aftertaste with mineraly wooden fruit notes. Lovely. Well balanced, harmonic, very vivid, and incredibly easy to drink. Very impressive beer at 3.5%. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.) 7,4,7,4,14=3.6

Second rating: Huge offwhite head. Clear brown body. Grainy soft metal aroma with herbal fruity notes. Dryish roasty caramelly taste with soft metal notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, dusty mouthfeel. Dry wooden resiny aftertaste with spicy herbal notes. Nice! Fresh and full of flavour. (0.5l bottle, from City Konsum, Karlstad.) 6,4,6,3,13=3.2

(Bottle, from Coop Vällingby C, Stockholm) Dark amber colour with dense, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with orange peel, dried apricots, rye bread, caramel and fresh hops. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, citrus, orange peel, a touch of grapefruit, rye bread and a fresh citric/earthy bitterness in the finish. Light body, with a touch of sweetness. Quite nice and tasty.
