Traditional IPA (not USA style). Our best seller, this bottle conditioned, hopped IPA is intensely floral, with wine-like tannin and hop resins to the fore. However, allowed to ‘age’ and the tannin will almost disappear with the floral hop being replaced by a more subtle spicy character. Natural carbonation will develop and the beer will pour with a champagne like sparkle.

Bottled at Plain Kitchen, Gothenburg. Pours clear, golden-orange, with a small, off-white head. Fruity hops, pine, resin and tropical fruits in the aroma. The flavor is citrusy and fruity, with mango, hops and pine. Slightly astringent, medium body. For a English ESB, it is very well hopped. Almost too hop-dominated. (060824)

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy amber with a creamy head. Citrusy and hoppy nose. Medium-bodied with a slight touch of caramel but everything is overpowered by a very distinct, citrusy hoppiness that also leaves a more than solid bitterness. A bit too raw bitterness for my liking. 240806

Bottled (BB 10/2006). A bit hazy copper brown, off-white head. Strong flowery hoppy nose. Medium bodied, resin flavors. Very hoppy, strong bitterness in the aftertaste. But as being "only" 5,5% - extremely drinkable. I suppose that this IPA is made for American markets.

An amber beer with small particles of sediment floating around, underneath an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of caramel and hops - I’m thinking Goldings. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of caramel, leading to a well bitter hoppy end.
