[Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Clear copper red, small head. Aroma of rye bread and lychee. Sweet and full bodied with clean mouthfeel. Plenty of malt with evident notes of bread and phenols. Alcohol plays a significant part. Lingering salty lychee-like finish. Very solid.

Relatively clear orange-brown body, thick, tight cream-tan head. The aroma is the best aspect of this beer, dense and layered with caramels, toast, sweet berries, brown sugar, and plenty of resiny, grapefruity and piney hops. The sweetness and thick malts carry over to the body but are quickly hollowed by thinning alcohol that significantly restricts the development of the palate. Resiny, strongly bitter hops residues linger on the palate in rather unpleasant fashion as a result of this unfortunate quirk.

(Bottled, Akkurat, stockholm 18 July) Colour is dark amber with hints of ruby. Frothy off-white head, leaving lots of lacing. Nose is initially mainly malty, sweet with notes of syrup and caramel, after a while the not so modest hops break through with citrussy grapefruit notes. Taste is very bitter, sweet with loads of hops and notes of pine needles and resin, some burnt caramel notes as well. Full bodied with an almost oily character. Long bittersweet finish. Rather complex, malty nose and hoppy, bitter taste. A nice one.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a moderate, fizzy head. There’s a pleasant malty aroma. The flavor has lots of sweet malts and some chocolate notes. I’d call it medium bodied, though maybe if I hadn’t had an imperial stout right before it, I’d call it full. There’s very little hops presence. It comes through slightly in the finish, but could have used more in the flavor. Overall this beer is pretty tastey though. Give it a try.

I enjoyed this one at kp’s cellar party. Clear dark amber with a fleeting white head. Grassy hop aroma with some underlying malt. Well balanced with a long bitter finish. Not bad at all.

Unique and good. A blend of an apa and fruit beer. The fruit however, is fairly light. This beer has a light hop aroma, and the flavor of a medium body American pale ale with very light fruit flavor. Probably the best and surely the most unique and experimental of the HeBrew series. Light red in color with a moderate head.

Bottle. Hoppy and a little fruity, with some sweet malty aroma and flavors. A little bitter, but good enough.

Bottle. Pretty good, but standard. Malty, and some bitterness. Decent and nothing to call home about

Considerable malts for an APA. The malts are mostly dry but there is a touch of sweetness. Fairly roasty in the flavor, suggesting a dryer stout rather than a pale ale. The hops are on the light side. It has a little more bite than an amber ale but still fairly easy going, and the hops that are there build on the dry malt base of the beer. It looks good enough; light red and a thin layer of foam.

Clear copper color with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet malty, slightly fruity aroma. Sweet fruity flavor, with some caramel in the end.
