(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 8 Feb 2018) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit and biscuits. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, grapefruit, lemon peel, biscuity malt and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing, with a generous hop presence. Nice one.

A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops, spices, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrusy hops, spices, pine needles, malt, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Draught@CBC2015 (blue session). Amber colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, wooden, some mild liquorice and spices as well as some mild bready and caramelly notes. Flavour is very similar. Flavour is rather simplistic, but still very tasty.

Deep dark copper and bronzed coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of deep strong resin, pine, earth, caramel and a good hit of oranges. Medium-bodied; Assertive caramel and toffee flavour up front with a bit of earth and metal going through. A touch of hops near the finish, not very noticeable and no signs of grapefruit nor citrus. Aftertaste shows the caramel, malt, alcohol and a very slight amount of pine at the very end. Overall, not showing too much, especially a cascade note or any hops at all, to be honest. This one may be past its prime, given that it was on sale at the store, so I understand that the hops may have died down a bit. That said, it still didn’t show me much, and i’ve had much better IPAs from Barcelona, even, than this one - so it’s definitely a pass, especially for the price, and even more so, especially if you are stateside. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Leuken’s Liqour in Dunedin, Florida on 03-October-2015 for US$4,59 sampled at home in Washington on 05-November-2015, just a little more than a month after buying it.

Flaska@BA Vasagatan. Lätt tvålig doft. Beska nästan lite sträv. Här är det humle, humle och mer humle som gäller. Ett spanskt försök att återta den kaliforniska halvön efter 150 års dekadent leverne. Close but no cigar.

Very citrusy and exceedingly well done considering I’ve had this on the wrong side of the pond. Pours hazy amber with good head an lacing. Quite a bitter finish with a hint of tang. Tap at Pizzeria Paradiso Dupont.
