Sleepy Bulldog Pale Ale
Gotlands Bryggeri

 

 

Oct. 2017: 330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 4.8%. Orange to amber colour, moderate head, slightly off-white. Moderate aroma of American hops, hints of orange marmalade and pine. Fresh and reasonably well hopped flavour, medium dry, notes of pine needles and grapefruit.

 

Not the most appealing to look at or smell, but it tastes pretty decent. Nothing that blew me away but its refreshing and fruity, mainly grapefruit on the palette with a hint of maltiness and piney bitterness. Pairs well with food.

 

I recently drank Sleepy Bulldog Pale Ale from Gotlands Bryggeri in a restaurant in the Old City Stockholm. I thought it was a pretty decent beer.

Look: Hazy reddish amber with a thick white head

Aroma: grapefruit, slightly floral

Taste: The flavor is fruity but not sweet, black currants, grapefruit, and a mild piney bitterness at the end.

Feel: light body, easy drinking

Pours a clear golden orange with low, fine foam.

Smell is herbal with notes of pepper, minerals, onion and some floral hops.

Taste is a bit oniony with herbal notes and some sweet malt balancing the mild bitterness.

Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.

Overall, a pretty good pale ale, nothing fantastic but drinkable.

 

I had this on tap in Gothenburg, Sweden, and definitely feel it was better than its ratings. Recommended.
