June 2013: Shared 330 ml bottle. ABV is 6.2%. Beautiful ruby colour, moderate beige head. Nice aroma, malty first with notes of brown bread and caramel, then the Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin hops come through with fruity notes. The flavour is well hopped throughout, but still not very bitter, on a distinctly malty base with brown bread and caramel again. Not too sweet though, quite nice.

A: Pours dark brown with loads of red hues. Compact, but rather small off-white head sinks into pretty nice lacings.

S: Way more floral than I would have guessed; elder-berrier, grapefruit and oranges. Bitter hops. Caramell malt, only mild sweetness.

T: Bitter hops are way stronger than in the smell. The floral hops are both fruity and flowery. Again grapefruit and organes, but also som green apples. Some pepper balances it all.

M: Aftertaste is long and bitter. Body is medium while carbonation is quite offensive but smooth.

O: This is by far the best beer from Gotland. Complex.

The beer is clear dark ruby red, an off-white even head that leaves little lacing.

Smelling of raisins, lemon and other fruits, caramelized almonds.

The taste is clearly citric, lemon and red grape-fruit, some spicy peppery hoppiness.

Medium carbonation, a rather small body, refreshing and with a nice dry finish.

A bit thin, but very nice spicy taste.
