(Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm, 20 Oct) Amber colour with huge white head. Fruity nose with lots of berries (blueberries, crowberries, raspberries). Fruity, slightly roasted, taste with notes of berries, caramel and earthy hops in the finish. Very good balance with a nice hoppy character, without straying too far from the main road.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm. Clear copper colour, fairly brief head. Resiny hop aroma. Fairly light bodied with clean, crisp mouthfeel. Notes of grapefruit and apples. Salty somewhat resiny finish with good bitterness. A bit too streamlined for my liking.

(Draught, Stockholm Beer Festival, 7 Oct) Dark amber colour with ruby notes, foamy, but small, head. Fruity nose with toffee, toasty malt, nuts, caramel and English hop aromas. Malty taste with caramel, nuts, spices and some rubbery notes. Nice beer, but wouldn’t suffer from a little more of everything.

Draught at Söderbärke Mikroölfestival. Ruby colour, small head. Spicy nose with notes lavender and juniper berries (even if these are not the spices added), as well as grassy hops. Medium bodied with clean rounded mouthfeel. Complex and intriguing flavour from the mix of spices, hops and caramelly malt. Rather light for a Christmas ale, but who cares with all these flavours?
