Originally brewed in 2011, re-released in 2020.
Mörkt bärnstensfärgad ale med kraftiga citrusaromer från användandet av amerikanska humlesorter och en speciell humlingsteknik kallad Hop-Bursting där man tillsätter kontinuerligt ökande mängd humle för att ge en kraftig humlearom. Humlesorterna är Amarillo, Brewers Gold, Cascade, Chinook, Columbus, Northern Brewer, Saaz och Simcoe. Den kraftiga humleprofilen balanseras av en rund och mjuk maltighet som kommer sig av användandet av mycket Munchenermalt. Detta kompletteras av Pilsner-, Crystal, och Pale Chocolate malt.

330 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget and consumed on December 18. Pours dark amber, almost reddish black, white a creamy white head that clings to the glass while dissipating. Smell is rather sweet with mandarin oranges, pine, orange zest, sourdough bread and some alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter and metallic. There’s lots of pine and orange zest but also some caramel, dark bread and minerals. Finish is rather dry, bitter and metallic. Way to metallic for my taste.

Bottle. Deep amber colour with a small quick fading white head. Ohhhh it smells amarillo mmm. Low carbonatin so it is a bit flat, but a warm mouthfeel, very hoppy and light malty.

33 cl bottle from Systembolaget. Clear, deep red/amber liquid with small to medium off-white head with big bubbles. Beautiful liquid but a bit short persisting head. Aroma is both malt and hop forward with notes of caramel, nuts, citrus, grapefruit, pine, tropical fruit and sweet malt. Really pleasant aroma. Taste is a bit malt sweet and medium to heavily bitter. Quite biscuity and bready. Some taste of minerals. Medium bodied with OK carbonation. Nice one, though a bit short lasting taste and quite harsh bitterness.

Mörk amerikansk strong ale med mycket humlearom men med en mörk fyllighet som balanserar bra. Gjorde ett starkt intryck och var nästan men bara nästan lite för mycket.

(Bottle) Reddish amber colour, slightly unclear, with frothy beige head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of caramel, treacle toffee, orange peel, dark rye bread, dried apricots, spices, hints of sweet sherry and lots of citric hops. Malty, fruity, hoppy taste with orange peel, dried apricots, dark rye bread, caramel, chocolate and generous doses of citric hops in the finish. Medium to full body, with a touch of sweetness, until the bitterness takes over. Lovely beer in excellent balance (and past its best before date by 3 months!).
