Great beer, even if the packaging is a bit tacky. Pours a translucent (nearly opaque) orange color with a frothy white head. Smells like you’d expect, citrus, pine, soap and all hops. Flavor was all the flavors from the aroma, grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, rounded out by malt to create a balance. Finish is bitter but mild. Worth grabbing and a good example of "don’t judge a book by it’s cover".

Canned at Oliver twist, Stockholm. Lightly hazy deep reddish golden, rich rocky head. Light floral hoppy nose. Medium sweet with chewy caramelly malt character. Medium bodied with sweaty flowery hoppiness. Some light apple and yeast tone wakes ups as it warms. Salty finish with medium bitterness. A well balanced, drinkable beer.

Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival 2007 afterfestival at Per’s, vintage 2004, 3 years old
Hazy dark amber color. Very nice aroma: malt, fudge, raisins, Christmas cakes. Very good mouthfeel, full malty flavor, with sweet caramel; good hopping, good ageing too. If anything about this beer, it’s too much alcoholic at the end, and a bit dusty. I love this aged, buttery Barleywine, excellent!

Good hop aroma and flavor, almost a mild pale ale. Not much else going on, some mild malt and a dry finish. Light brown color and well carbonated. Fairly good palate, it isn’t watery at all.

Courtesy of Quake1028. The can pours a clear copper with tan head and nice lacing. It smells malty with earthiness, spice and pine hops. The taste begins with a thin mouth feel that ushers in an even combination of roasty malts and some pine hops, grapefruit hops and dirty earthiness. The mixture of hop bitterness grows into the finish squashing down the malts.
