31 cl bottle @ lusikka. Batch 5, BBE 11/2015. Aroma has fruity notes, grainy malt and cereal. Flavour has fruity hops, cereal, some biscuits and minerals. Nothing fancy here, just a sweetish fruity pale ale.

(Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 8 May 2015) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with liquorice, salmiac and dark chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with notes of liquorice, salmiac, dark chocolate, coffee and a dry, slightly metallic bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite dry. Tasty and well made, possibly a bit sharp around the edges. Nice one.

Bouteille 310ml, BB 06.2016, lot#001 via trade with Marlos. Brune foncée, doré au verre, col crémeux moka. Arôme aux belles notes maltées, caramel avec un aspect mélanoide assez doux et une petite touche de réglisse ainsi que de chocolat. Palais est épais et laisse de suite la place aux 10% de cette bière. Plein de malts et une certaine épaisseur rappelant l’avoine et une pointe de réglisse? Grillé et chocolaté à souhait avec un petit côté crystal voire mélasse collant aux lèvres. Amertume perce en fin de bouche apportant une note fleurie. Le tout garde une touche fruitée rappelant la prune et date.

Brazilian IPA in collaboration with Evil Twin, from a nice bottle with glossy label. Creamy, off-white, fairly loose head over a lightly hazy yellow blonde beer with vivid sparkling, misty with deposit. Elegant, ’dank’ but relatively clean aroma of pink grapefruit flesh, mandarin peel, lime, brown bread, ripe peach, pineapple, chamomille, freshly cut celery, hemp, pine resin, cookies, cheese spread. Crisp and vivid onset, very fruity (green apple, gooseberry, starfruit) with hop bitterness already noticeable on the tip of the tongue, bit spicy, carbonation tingling on the tongue, minerally, supple mouthfeel with a nice bready maltiness underlying an increasing, peppery, bit piney, citrussy and floral, very aromatic hop bitterness, long-lasting and dry but remaining elegant and refreshing, with some of the typical saltiness which is custom in this style. Very nice, elegant and almost ’feminin’, well-balanced, though perhaps not very original IPA.
