Draught. Weak hop aroma. Cloudy dark yellow colour. The flavour is quite good, distinct but pleasant bitterness, hint of yeast. Good teaish hop flavour and a little spicy aroma hop. Good mouthfeel.

Draught at Järnet, Stockholm. Comes hazy golden with small head. The aroma is unexpected for a Skebo beer - the grassy hops are hidden under a thick blanket of toffee and butter. Surely that’s diaectyl? It’s malt sweet at first, then rich amounts of grassy, resiny hops dries it out. It’s well rounded and has good balance between malt and hops. The powerful butteryness however seem out of place. Is it really intended? The beer is still good and very quaffable, just a bit odd.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68 and cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Lightly hazy deep golden. The keg version has a firm small head. Grainy nose with grassy hops. Where the keg version is dry and crisp the cask version is more sweet. It’s freshly hoppy with lots of hay-like hops and has a lovely chewy malt character. Salty bitter finish. A very drinkable English style ale. I probably prefer the keg version in this case, as it feels much drier.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Pale copper colour with foamy, white head. Fruity nose with citrus (lemon and grapefruit). Fruity taste with notes of orange, lemon and grassy, slightly soapy hops in the finish. Rather sweet, almost cloying finish. Nice citussy hop character, but too sweet for me. Lacking some balance.
