This ale marks the 20th anniversary for master brewer David Jones, the man behind the fine beers from Jämtlands. He tried to re-create the first brew he made back in 1984, the Dogbolter from memory. The result is the Anniversary Ale.
A special feature is the hops. Part of them is wild hops that David and his neighbours grow in their gardens. The other ingredients are Maris otter pale ale malt, caramel malt, pure crystal malt, crystal malt, chocolate malt, Challenger and Braming cross hops.
The colour is dark amber, the liquid is clear, the foam is white and quite small.
The major smell is a sweet one with hints of black currant. There is a small sticky feel to it.
The carbonation is pretty strong, it borders to being too strong.
A first sweet taste is soon replaced with a growing bitterness. There are some flavours of diacetyl and dry herbs. The aftertaste is quite simple with a metallic bitterness.
I must say that I am, for the first time, disappointed over a beer from Jämtlands Bryggeri. It seemed unfinished, unbalanced and straggling. The beer that is being reviewed was a premier at the Stockholm Beer Festival. Hopefully, the beer just isnt 100% developed yet. It will be interesting to try the variant on bottle later this year.
