12oz bottle. Deep chestnut amber-brown color, stained glass translucency. Thin patchy head. Roasty dark malt toffee aroma, with some chocolate edges. The taste is rich and malt centered. It’s mild hops leave a nice sandiness and balance the rich and sweetness of the malt. Some dark fruit flavors, a touch of raisin or fig. The reasonably high alcohol and the heather add a nice warming effect in the finish. Smooth, mildly carbonated. Complex and tasty, a pretty good take on the style.

12oz shorty bottle. Filtered transparent orange-tan color with a small patchy head. Orange citrus and biscuity malt in the aroma. Comes off rather true to style for an American example, with a nice, fluffy, medium bodied malt centered body, quite well balanced with the delicate but ever present hopping. A hard style to nail and they do a really nice job. Some caramel malt tones in the aftertaste. All around an excellent beer.

Thanks to ericandersnavy for this one. Pours a clear reddish copper with a frothy 3-finger beige head. Light roast caramel aroma with mild floral hop. Near medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is roast caramel with a touch of citrus, but mostly floral. Seems astringent. Decent drink.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear nut brown, mid-sized head. Perfumy nose with roasty notes. Medium sweet with light-medium body and slick, well rounded mouthfeel. Slim and quafable. Salty perfumy hops on a distance, surfacing late to give balanced bitterness A pleasant if somewhat superficial beer.

Draft: Golden orange with a modest sandy colored head. Nice thick sheets of lacing. Mild, almost faint aroma is lightly sweet with citrus and caramel. The tastes comes through much more flavorful. Citrus hops, grapefruit, even grape itself, and a small amount of maltiness. Wet feeling overall. Very light floral element. This is drinkable stuff; potentially a perfect house beer for summer.
