Draught at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Gothenburg. Served a slightly hazy yellowish golden body with a small, dense white head leaving nice lacings. Weak nose with banana, citrus, some cloves and hops. The flavor has banana even though the commercial description says it don’t, as well as citrus and a nice bitterness. Medium body, dry and medium carbonation. Banana, citrus, some wheat and a citrusy and piney hoppiness in the finish. A decent, easy to drink beer with a nice hop level. (080709)

(Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Vasagatan, Stockholm, 9 July 2008) Hazy orange colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, slightly citric nose with grass, spices and pears. Fruity taste with notes of wheat-flour dough, plums and hints of banana. Refreshing, summery hefeweizen. But somehow it feels like it doesn’t really come through all the way.

Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Cloudy mustard yellow, no head. Vaguely yeasty winegum/lemon aroma. Sweet and fruity with notes of pears and winegum, but no banana and cloves. Overcarbonated, probably as a result of serving in a tumbler. Marginal wheat malt character. Not a favourite. Light wheat ales with no banana esters jus doesn’t do it.

Thin creamy brown head with blotches in lighter hues. Opaque black body. Rich chocolatey mealy aroma with hoppy roasty notes and some alcohol and coffee. Dry-sweet resiny chocolatey taste with some sweetness and alcoholic coffee notes. Quite a bit of bubblegum, too. Dry roasty chocolate aftertaste. A pretty good beer, but loses on the alcohol and bubblegum. They changed the keg while giving me this, so it could be an issue with that. Should rerate. (0.3l draft at Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg.)

Medium white coarseish head. Paleish yellow body. Resiny straw aroma with fruity notes and some roasted almonds. Dry-sweet roasted almonds and dry straw taste with resiny notes. Dusty mouthfeel. Dry grainy chalky aftertaste. The owner of Tre Små Rum (Reza) gave me a sample from bottle as well, to go with the draft version I ordered. That had a lot more aroma with more emphasis on fruit and malts. The taste was not more powerful than from draft, but showed the same difference in emphasis. The bottled version was also lightly acidic and rubbery. I preferred the draft version. (0.3l draft at Tre Små Rum, Göteborg.)

Tap at DentatoveredeEnke, Copenhagen. Black with a cremy beige foam. Aroma & taste is roasted malts. Caramel, coffee & quite ashy taste. Little too thin palate & too sweet & buttery! OK
