The pale yellowish foam is thick, with fine bubbles. It disappears quite fast into a thin white skin. The colour is clear, dark copper red (as the name suggests).

The smell is mild; there are hints of dark rye bread, dark malt and some traces of yeast.

The Carbon dioxide is just right, making the brew refreshing but not sharp in the mouth.

The taste is gentle yet focused: At first, there is a fresh acidity, then the fine bitterness and the hints of diacetyl and hazelnuts take over and the whole taste ends with a somewhat dry, harmonic bitterness.

This is ale as I really enjoy drinking at the pub with my friends – it got character, but doesn’t take over the full attention as an ESB or stout might do.

Yes, the small Slottskällan Brewery does really show their craftsmanship in making fine beers in a wide range of styles. This particular ale is, by the way, made in collaboration with the O’Connor’s Irish Pub & Restaurant in Uppsala, the town that Slottskällans Brewery is located in. Hmmm… It makes me wonder how this beer tastes from the tap. It is probably even better that way.
