Malty, slightly hoppy taste with notes of citrus and grainy malt. Slightly metallic with a decent citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Quite nice.

Clear golden with a medium white head. The aroma had some sour notes, also fruit and bread. The body was thin, and the taste was quite boring to be honest. Nothing to wrote home about.

Draught@SBWF2011. Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some fruity and grassy hops as well as mild toffeeish notes. Flavour is grains, hops, mild earthy and some caramelly notes. Feels like the hops have disappeared quite much from the flavour.

Draught@SBWF2011. Deep copper colour, small head. Aroma is grass, boiled liver as well as avocado, fruits and earth. Flavour is quite similar. The boiled liver gives a quite "Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas" feeling to the beer...

Draught@SBWF2011. Deep amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is hops, caramel malts, earth, grass and some slight herbal notes. Flavour is similar. Balanced and semidry. Not that brutal IPA, but a rather mellow and drinkable one...

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Muddy mahogany colour. Chocolaty nose. Mid sweet with medium body and clean, rock hard mouthfeel. Diluted milk chocolate in carbonated water. Low bitterness. Primitive and pointless.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy orange/brown, small head. Infected lemon aroma. Mid sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Some peaty smoke, lemonyh finish. While the smoke may be pleasant the lemon takes over. Did they not check the status of their beer of week 2 of the festival, or where they satisfacted to serve sour rauchbier?

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear pale brown, small head. Aggresively dry hopped with pears dominating. Sweetish with an exceptionally pungent chemical flavour of bicarbonate. Rock hard and edgy with terpentine and vile chemicals in the finish. WTF?
