Rerate at home aka third time lucky. Pours golden with a wihte head. Floral and citrusy aroma. Taste of grapefruit, pineapple and grapes. Medium bitterness. Slightly to light body, for a winter day at least probably lovely in the summer! Rating 1 000! 6 3 6 3 13 Bottle shared with Hirigalzkar at Bishops Folkungagatan. Pours amber with a offwhite head. Aroma dominated by apples. Smooth malty and a hint of bakers yeast, drinkable and to me more similar to an ESB than a APA.

Bottle. Don’t know if there was something wrong with this bottle. I could feel the rather strange green apple notes (that ompher writes about in his raiting) in the aroma aswell as the taste. But at the same time I could see some potential in this hoppy but balanced brew. I kind of enjoyed drinking it, even though the green, almost cognac-like, apple notes dominated the experience. It has got a charming homebrew feel to it. Re-rated 120127: A lot better this time! Peach, apricots and orange cest notes. Some sweet caramel malts. Nice bitter finish! Very drinkable.

Bottled at Bishops Arms Folkungagatan, Stockholm. Cloudy orange, creamy but brief head. Extravagant tropical fruit hop aroma. Fairly sweet with light-medium body and clean, well rounded mouthfeel. Modern style ale where the caramelly malt is only there to support the delightful hops. Pineapple, peach, lychee and grapefruit dominates. Finishes with balanced bitterness. A competent APA. Not groundbreaking but tasty and highly functional. A perfect debute beer!
In a second bottle found at Urban Deli less than 30 minutes later the hop aromas were however clearly muddled by green apples.
Re-rate on Feb 6th 2012. Now with loads of fresh sweaty black currant hops. Light and crisp, hugely drinkable. Smashingly good, at least when this fresh.
