Bottle from my local corner kiosk. I like the bottle design, i was quite sure it was english or american, never suspected swedish. caramelly light brown, light brown head. really nice slighly flowery slightly piney, slighly grapefruity and malty aroma. Aroma is delicate but still full bodied. flavor is bitter from malts and hops, quite well blended, a little bit of herbal bitterness that sort of mixes in with a little bit of sweet malty notes, making the beer not so fresh. pretty nice, but due to the bittersweet feel to it, not super nice. I suspected that perhape the beer would be a bit aged, and indeed the bbf is 2022-09-27 and we have 2022-09-18 today. so.. I would expect this one to have tasted way better when fresh - some of the bittersweet could then have been crisp fairly brutal hoppiness. I am rating as I get it, but it could be better than this fresh, perhaps.
