Namned Bomble Bee 17 in Sweden and The Bee 17 in the UK.
Bomble Bee 17 turned out pretty much how we wanted a pilsener style lager from our backyard brewery to be. Golden colour and a pearly white head. Elegant dry body and a refreshing bitterness. But then, while lagering, our brewmaster chose to bombard the brew with hops to give the beer its final profile. Grassy Saaz battling Flowery Willamette for your nose’s attention. We call it a Hop-Struck Pilsener.

Flaske fra Systembolaget Visby, på terassen i Tingstäde: kobbergylden med ok hvitt skum. At den (iflg etiketten) er tørrhumlet med Saaz og Willamette merkes bare såvidt, men smaken er frisk, velhumlet og avrundet. Slank, og med en halvtørr slutt. Absolut lettdrikkelig. Første gang jeg har sett en 0,33 PET-ølflaske med skrukork, faktisk er det enda mer praktisk enn boks når man er på sykkeltur!

330 ml PET bottle. Clear golden body with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma has malt, grain and a weak hint of caramel. Flavor is sweet malt and caramel with a harsh, metallic bitterness. Medium body and aftertaste that dominates by the harsh, metallic bitterness.

330ml can @ Dog Bowl, Manchester. Pours clear gold, white head. Aroma is floral, citrus. Taste is grassy pilsner with a notable hop presence which seemed a bit odd for the style. Not convinced.
