Nog can from Systembolaget. Clear and golden with a head that disappears to quick. Tastes like sodas from the 80’s minus an odd added colour called something like Elvira Blåtira or Kiviga Kruse. Tastes like fruit candy with artificial bitter almonds on booze. Quite horrible but still fun

Can. Clear, medium brown with a light colored tan head. Aroma was light mocha and grains. Taste is chocolate, roasted oatmeal bread with a slightly hoppy bitter finish.

Can at home from Beer Republic. Pours opaque copper with a finger wide off-white head. Nose is citric and somewhat grassy hops, light pine, faint malty notes, a touch of peppery spicyness. Taste is nicely balanced bittersweet notes of malts, booze and hops (orange and mandarin, Amarillo perhaps?), although these latter are not as pronounced as expected. There' a spicy, somewhat woody layer too in the taste, which gives an interesting additional dimension to the beer. Closes with long lasting bitter finish with some booze, has ligh to medium (yet full) body, and soft to average carbonation. Although I expected some more pronounced hop character, do understand it's not the most fresh (canned in April). The wood is a nice thouch however and it's nice to have an IPA that's actually bitter these days haha.

19.2oz can picked up at Publix.
Pours clear deep golden with a medium sized beige head, good lacing. Malty, caramel, fruit, resin, herbal.
Good, but I prefer the regular version.

Deadication brew to a super, smashin', great presenter and comedian, Jim Bowen, died on this day. He was a Lancashire man, whilst Florida Man is very tropical for its strength making it very palatable for the same aspect. Still not to be sipped too quickly.

Bottle (2016) @ Drugie DNO, Warsaw May 2018. Dark brown, almost black body with a moderate sized tan head. Nice aroma of dark malt, cocoa, coffee, dry fruit and raspberries. Flavor is quite sweet with dar, roasted , malt, coffee, chocolate, dry fruit and hint of raspberries. Alcohol is well hidden. Fine body and long lasting finish. Delicious.
