--Keg at Stigbergets Fot, Stockholm. -- Hazy amber, rich creamy head. Aroma of pears, grapefruit and papaya. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and creamy with papaya and citrus.

50cl bottle. A murky golden beer with a big off-white head. Aroma of mild juicy hops, banana, yeast, mango. Taste of dry bitter and jucy hops, mango, citra, yeast, green banana. Mild bitterness.

0,5 bottle at Two More Beers with Snegurochka. Local historic brewery Malduguns' latest take on the New England IPA genre. Slightly hazy straw yellow body, maybe not as murky as you would ideally expect from a true NEIPA. Medium white head that leaves some spotted lacing in the glass. Quite pretty for the category. Aroma is relatively pungent and interesting and - again - perhaps not what you would expect from a NEIPA. While the fruity bitter hops are there the malty punch the aroma also brings is surprising. This is very much followed up by the taste which is much more caramelly (is that even a word?) than expected given that you ignored the aroma. A consistently made beer is always good, but not very NEIPA-like, anyways. Good aftertaste that keeps for quite a long while, and carbonation, mouthfeel etc. is really good and pleasing whilst not the juicy heaven that the very best of the genre provide. Malduguns have produced a NEIPA that is not perhaps made by the numbers but still original and quite drinkable. Taken at face value this is not a bad beer by any stretch of the imagination.

200ml draught at Tromsø Mikrobryggeri. Patchy, fawn-coloured head, jet black in the glass, upper part lacing. Roasted bread on the nose, scent of chocolate. Mixed malt-forward flavours of dark bread, ash, and chocolate. Decent roasted bitter finish, warming and lingering. Nice Baltic Porter version, not too sweet. (Tromsø 16.12.2022).
