Brandmästare Andréns Törstsläckare (2,8% Version)
Dugges Ale- & Porterbryggeri AB

 

 

The colour is gold with a tint of orange (20 EBC). The liquid is a little cloudy. The three finger head is white and airy. It sinks very slowly, leaving lots of lacing.

The smell is hoppy and bitter with a mix of American citric pine-notes and English hay/flower flavours. Hints of cookies/biscuits and a light touch of paint that I recon from other Dugges beers.

The taste is bitter and a little sour (lime). Lots of bitter hops, some citric flavours and hints of flowers and grass. Some sweet biscuits and a touch of solvents. The body is medium for the strength. The aftertaste is bitter, almost raw, and a bit short.

The carbonation is medium strong, the bubbles very small. The liquid is smooth.

An interesting mix of a British ordinary bitter and an American pale ale. I liked it.

A slightly hazy amber with orange and copper tones, an off-white head leaving some lacing.

The smell is full of citric notes, orange and grape-fruit. Some sweet toffee as well.

Maybe the low alcohol content reduces the taste too much, watery and bleak. But a good balance between, acidity, sweetness and bitterness. Caramel, fresh bread, and grape fruit.

Medium carbonation, smooth and refreshing.

One of the best 2.8% beers I've tried.

Bottle 500 ml, tasted at Vasastans Ost.

A: Golden amber with a creamy and very dense head.

S: Citric notes, Grass, Caramel and a wee hint of chocolate?

T: Grapefruit, Caramel, Tropical fruit, Malty goodness.

M: Very clean, straightforward, taste with some malt and a medium bitterness at the end. Plenty of carbonation.

This is probably one of the best low-alcohol-beers i've tasted as of yet. Very clean and drinkable for what it is. Perfect for those warm days when you want the taste of a good beer without getting intoxicated.
