(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm) Hazy amber colour with brief, foamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, bitter orange marmalade and resin. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, resin, orange peel, pine needles and a generous resinous bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. I wouldn’t say exceptionally well balanced, but it’s sheer power and generous bitterness makes it quite magnificent. Very nice beer.
