7.9/10 Appearance 9 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 8
Brewery draught, 6/27/25.
Heavily hazy, near-turbid. Pale bronze-maize-golden. Small, somewhat thick, white head.
Lots of Nelson leading off with deep, rich spice and an undercurrent of pine/spruce/chalk/earth/mineral. Lot of unripe tropical fruit with crackery malts that gently support. Clean, no resin.
Soft, though with a crackery/biscuity edge. Ample malt and lots of dryness, with the Galaxy aiding that. Light white grape, moderate spice, light spruce and lots of chalky mineral. Really, really well-done NEIPA that any brewery would be absolutely thrilled with.

Brewery draught, 6/27/25.
Unfiltered, pale golden. Small, white head.
Smoke and funk with nutty, rich wheat. Light malt and low lactic character.
Soft and chewy with a hint of hop and fruity yeast. Low lactic character. Could use a touch more malt depth, as it's very dry and nutty/biscuity. But pretty solid all around, especially for a difficult, low abv style.

Too spicy. Gave it to husband. It’s his butthole.

Drucken på fat på Bishop Gustav, Malmö. Disig gyllengul vätska med lågt skum. Dammig, aningen kvalmig med lite parfymig, blommig humle. Bra kropp, mjuk och rund. Trevlig
