(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 23 Apr 2026) Golden amber colour with creamy tan head. Fruity, malty nose with apricots, mandarin and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, orange peel, mandarin, bread, toast and a balanced citric/resiny bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh and hoppy, quite drinkable for its strength. Very nice.
