7.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 7
Gyllengul klar vätska med vitt gräddfluffigt skumlock. Aromer av citrus och en bekant humlearom, möjligen Simcoe. Inslag av grape, kåda och tallbarr. Doften avrundas med aningens ljust bröd och degighet.
Markerad men lite tunn maltkropp. Obalanserad åt det beska hållet. Tiden är mogen för en återgång till old-school-västkust. Bryggarens intention var bra men Spinal Tap rusade in och drog beskan långt förbi elva, på den tiogradiga skalan.

Can from Systembolaget Sweden.
Huge, long lasting white head.
Piny hop aroma that is a litle tired.
Firm bitterness and piny hop taste.
Light caramell malty taste but don't balance the bitterness.

Bottled. Didn’t pour. A bit of a wheat fruity aroma. Weird combo of malts and hops. Hard to think of why/what this beer is trying to be.
