This SPA (Swedish Pale Ale (no I don’t know either)) was brewed by Harviestoun to celebrate the 1500th beer of Stockholm beer restaurants Oliver Twist and Akkurat.

The colour is deep amber; the low head is compact and off-white.

The smell is quite weak, with a distinct note of lemon-flavoured toffee, Coca-Cola and some sour notes.

The taste is very bitter. There are notes of lemon drops, toffee and bitter-sweet herbs. The aftertaste is milder. There are still lots of bitter herbs (wormwood), but the creamy malt is more present than before. I also found dry notes of oranges and sour candy.

The carbonation is very soft and very pleasant.

A surprisingly American ale from this fine British brewery, but it is almost as bitter as tonic water thus making it less drinkable.
