Påskölen är baserad på bryggeriets första brygd, Unicum Verum, och är en mörkgul belgisk strong ale med karamellig alkoholsötma och kryddigt jordiga toner samt extremt stor beska.
Ölet är en hyllning till ölets själ – Humulus lupulus.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep orange with a huge light and head. Mild yeasty and spiced aroma. Light caramel note and somewhat fruity acidic. Sweet fruity flavoured. Mild spiced and dense malty. Light acidic into a mild fruity finish. Has alight off-note and this could be a mild infection.

Bottled (BB 09/2007)
Hazy orange color, big cloudy off-white head, lace. Flowery hoppy nose, almost like in Öland’s beers! Crisp, pine needle hoppy, alcoholic Belgian type ale. There is some sweetish fruity notes and hops. Quite nice tripel and very close to Unicum Verum.

Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy - especially coriander. The flavor is also sweet and very malty and with a more complex but still strong note of spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Bottle, 7.5%. Cloudy orange colour, very small head. Citric hop aroma. The flavour has a sourish, citric bitterness, a bit harsh. Does not taste its ABV. Too high carbonation.

(Bottle 63 cl) Courtesy of omhper. Pours a hazy, orangey golden with a dense and stable, white head. Clean, floral nose with a hint of yeast. Fairly full-bodied with very fruity accents, some yeast and a surprisingly hoppy finish. 130507

Well, it’s not fair to rate this beer after a Kaggen, but the bottle provided by Per opened by itself…
Hazy golden color; thin persistent head, nice lace and perlage. The aroma of malt hop and yeat smells so much Swedish (more soapy than English). Soft mouthfeel, soft malt taste, a lot of sweet caramel, followed by a bold bitterness, some good hops, a bit metallic; Swedish, if you know what I mean. Ok, it’s similar to a homebrew, but the path is correct.
