Bottle, RBESG 2005 Grand Tasting. Very nice hoppy aroma, citrus, pineapple. Flavour is dry and hoppy, light bodied, bitter aftertaste. Must be a great beer to drink when you have been working up a sweat doing farm work (or garden work) in the summertime.

Pours a clear yellow with fine head.

Smell is piney with notes of caramel, grapefruit and grass.

Taste is piney and grassy with a solid wallop of bitterness. Notes of citrus, tea and a bit of caramel.

Mouthfeel is medium, smooth and well carbonated.

Overall, a really solid pale ale, with plenty of bite.

 

Poured into a BrewDog snifter.

A: Body is bright, mid yellow mid orange with a very slight coppery hue. It's crystalline with no haziness. The head is white, 1/2cm thick with great retention.
S: The aroma is mostly filled with grapefruit, maltiness and a mild hoppy profile. Not the most amazing stuff.
T: Taste starts off with a very small citric profile of grapefruit that goes straight to a powerfully bitter end showcasing a greener and grassier hop profile.
M: Body is medium. Carbonation is great. Alcohol is unnoticed. Bitterness is very high.
O: Was hoping to find better aroma and taste but technically it's very well executed.

 

 

 

Clear, pale gold color with an everlasting line of bubbles. Good initial bubbles for the lace.

Floral hop smell.

The flavor starts as malty (pale) but soon converts to the hop bitterness. Neutral body and carbonation. Short aftertaste despite the hop content.

 

 

This brewer was also at the Borefts festival in Bodegraven, the Netherlands. In De Molen, a fine dutch brewery there were a lot of good breweries.

I asked the lady bartender for a nice golden beer and she gave me one!!

Poured in my the Molen tasting glass this beer look amazing. A nice golden fluid with a firm white head. A complex floral and citrus aroma with some pine. A dry and somewhat bitter beer. A very good summer session ale.

From the tap into a Närke tulip at the brewery with Hans.

A golden fizzy beer with a white head, about a finger but gone quickly...Light aroma of citrus and pine, but a whole lot going on. ..The taste is very like the aroma, light lemony front, maybe some herbs, then a light hop finish.

This is a version of the same beer, its brother CAmarrilo is much better, Id just go with that one.

Draught@Akkurat

A: Light yellow with a small white head.

S: Hops, Berries, Apricot, Pine.

T: Citric notes, Fruit, Grain, Berries.

M: Low carbonation and good balance makes this an easy drink.

A very good sessionbeer but there was something missing that i can't pinpoint at this time. Recommended for those warm summerdays.

Golden color with a small with head and decent lacing.

Very hoppy aroma of citrusfruits like grape and lemon and some sweetness and butter notes.

The taste is hops, citrusfruit, pine, flowers and some sweetness. Dry and bitter finish.

The body is light to medium and the carbonation quite low. I like it a lot. Had it at Bishops Arms, Avenyn, Gothenburg.

The colour is deep gold; the finger thick white head is uneven.

The smell is sweet with a distinct flavour of red berries and some crispy bitterness.

The taste is soft (but not mild). Just like in the smell, there are lots of red berries in it, just like someone had put some strawberries and cranberries in the brew. There are also some mild earthy notes. The aftertaste is bitter-sweet with notes of raspberries, strawberries and cranberries. The berry-flavours are always balanced by a careful bitterness and some bread-like notes from the malt.

The carbonation is mild and nice.

A very pleasant and different (but not weird) ale.
