Pride and beer, part 2

After the parade we visited Bishops Arms on Vasagatan. We ate a burger each at 50% discount and drank a couple of beers. Since it was Pride week I figured the Rainbow Warrior would be a suiting beer to drink ;)

Närke Rainbow Warrior (Draught) 6,5%
It poured a slightly hazy golden liquid, with a medium sized icream looking foam that left allot of lacing on the side of the glass. The foam stayed around until I had finished the beer and it looked very appealing.

It had a smell of grassy hops, hay, citrus and grapefruit. It also had a hint of something nutty, couldn't quite put my finger on it.

It tasted very smooth and fresh with grassy hops and some grapefruit. The bitterness was medium to high, but not overwhelming at all which made it easy to drink. A real thirstquencher and I would have loved to try it in the sun. But it worked great in the hot weather as well.
Total: 4/5



Ocean Eko Pale Ale (Draught) 4,5%
It poured a hazy dark golden liquid with a medium icecream looking foam that stayed a long time.
It had a week aroma of gras, wood and smell that I associate to barns. But not the kind you store animals in.

It was very smooth and easy to drink, but also had a thin body. The taste was weak with hints of hay, grass and caramell. It also had a burned and smoky finish.
Total: 3/5


It poured a hazy dark orange-golden liquid with a big foam that stayed a long time and left a nice lacing.

It had a fresh aroma of grasy hops and citrus. Very nice!

Just as the other two beers it was very smooth. It tasted sweet with some caramell and grassy hops. Not as good as it smelled but still nice. Definitely the best beer I've had in a can.
Total: 3,6/5
