0.355l bottle @ The Duck, NYC. Blurry, deep champagne brown, small islandy off-white. Buttery, caramel. Smells kinda oldish, bitter scotch and diabetes(!?). Bah. Taste a bit better luckily. Sweet really malty. Amber malts and it's in a way like drinking a soft biscuit cake. Grows on you, but not all that to be honest. Think this is a old bottle. 21.06.2013

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Cloudy deep golden, rich head. Aroma of pear, grapefruit and banana. Sweet with full body and sticky mouthfeel. Heavy with banana, honey and treacle, covered in tropical fruit hops. Resiny bitter finish. Warming and potent. More brute force than finesse, but not without highlights.

Draft at Beer Run. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a thin frothy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of earthy, floral and fruity hops with pale malts. The taste is citrus, tropical and pine hops with mild pale malts. Medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness and not much pilsner character.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a light head of big bubbles that dissipate quickly. Aromas of cooking malts. Light malty, sour dour flavors. Nothing impressive

Hazy golden color. The aroma has a point of citrusy fruits, oranges and tangerines; light malt. Round mouthfeel, good malt flavor, with nice citrus fruit balance (oranges, tangerines), moderate sweetness, strong bitterness, soft and fruity resins in the end; light spicy yeast character.
Very good, interesting.

On tap at Toronado. It pours an unclear dark golden body and a small, dense off-white head. Lots of bubblegum on the nose, along with a touch of pale malts, fruits and cloves. The flavor is pretty much the same, equally boring, with Aimee bitterness and bread. Medium body and decent carbonation. Some bitterness in the end. Overall, boring. 130804
