Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Dark amber. Light orangey aroma. Medium sweet and very rounded. The body is light but firm, and the malt flavour is clean. There's some cookies in the finish, and the bitterness is moderate. A well balanced and well made bitterness.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
This pale golden, crystal clear ale must surely be named after the famous Australian Ratebeerian. It has an orangey nose, is sweet, fruity and well rounded with soft mouthfeel and notes of vanilla and strawberries. It's an easy drinking ale, well suited for summer weather and has average bitterness and a fair amount of character.

A dark nutbrown beer with no head. The aroma is a powerful ginger with some sweetness. The flavor is also totally dominated by the ginger combined with some sweetness. Not my type of beer - I've tried ginger beers better than this one.

A dark nutbrown beer with no head. the aroma is sweet and acidic. The flavor is smoked, sweet, watery with a bitterness lingering only on the front of the tongue - but having a fine aftertaste.

Bright amber; earthy, slightly phenolic nose; clean, straightforward ale, slight yeast note. I''d call it an English Pale.

Ruby red colour, firm, beige head. Chocolately, sweet aroma. Sweet, chocolately flavour. As the beer gets warmer a slight smokiness can be detected.

Nice, dark copper-colour. Pleasant caramel-ish aroma. The flavour starts off in a caramel-ish way but is soon overtaken by the taste of bitter almonds. The bitter almonds get more and more dominant and after half a bottle my taste buds raise the white flag screaming: Please, please no more off this!!

Somewhat fruity, somewhat bitter, somewhat thin. A good session beer, maybe.

Dark brown; ginger and dark malts (mostly coffee, but some vienna malt as well) join forces here. Fairly sweet beer, with the ginger playing the balancing role. If you've ever dabbled with ginger brown ales as a homebrewer (as I did), this is an example of how to do it right.
