Left Hand – Haystack Wheat (5,0%)Hazy golden colour with lots of foam. It looked very promising but was a disappointment. It doesn’t have a bad taste it just didn’t really taste or smell anything at all. The worst Left Hand I’ve had so far.
Total: 2,2/5
Dugge and Nogne O – Sahti (11%)
Pours a hazy amber colour with a small foam. It had lots of yeast and spices left in the bottle. Smells of honey and lots of it, also some heather. It had a unique taste, sweet and dry with tastes of honey and herbs. Had a bite to it but was a very pleasant experience. More experiments like this please! :)
Total: 3,4/5
Nogne O - Klin Kokos (6%)Pours a dark colour with a small dark foam. Had a sweet smell of cocos and chocolate. The taste was also sweet with some nutty cocos. Nice, but the the taste was very short and dissapeared fast after reaching the tongue.
Total: 3,5/5
Brooklyn – Black Chocolate Stout (10%)Black colour with a small dark foam. Had a smell of chocolate and smoke. Had a dry taste of chocolate and a long aftertaste. Very nice!
Total: 3,9/5
Liefmans – Kriek (6%)Poured a watery red colour, slightly hazy, almost like aged red wine. The smell was fruity, sweet and sour with cherries all over. The taste was sweet and sour and packed with cherries and some nutty almonds. I really enjoyed this and I think my mother really liked it as well.

some of these guys sound cool. None of them here in Alanya. sad for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah they where very interesting, specially Sahti. which originally is some sort of finnish beverage. The one I had wasn't a typical Sahti but some experiment (Sahti re-invented). I hope they do more experiments like this. Maybe a swedish version: Gotlandsdricka re-invented?
ReplyDeleteTo bad you can't get these in Alanya. I think it's possible to import beer through some stores. But it might be a bit expensive. :/

ReplyDeleteStefans Mother and Grand-mother are talking about going to Alanya in May. Maybe you can talk them into bring you some beer!! ;-)
Agree about Haystack Wheat. Not so good. Too bad its on the regular assortment. A waste.
ReplyDeleteNice that they are going to Alanya. Personally Im going in to central Stockholm to shop, eat and ofc drink some beer :)
ReplyDeletefajanen: Yeah it was suprisingly boring to be a Left Hand.
