500 ml bottle. Almost clear reddish golden body with a huge, foamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus and earthy. Flavor is a bit harsh bitter, sweet malt and hoppy with some fruitiness. It’s OK but not really outstanding. There’s quite a few similar IPA’s around these day and this one doesn’t exactly separates from the rest.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms North, Stockholm. Transparently black, small head. Aroma of tar and licorice. Dry and dense. Though solid it showcases roasty, burnt flavours and grapefruity hops. Tarry, really bitter finish. A straightforward, good porter.

Draught. Weak apple aroma. The colour is very close to water. Sweet apple flavour, I also get some pear. The finish reminds me of aspartam.
