SMÖF 2009, part 2

They had a competition for the best beer of the festival called Guldskum. I’m not sure how they choose the beer but there where seven beers from different breweries participating in the competition. I tried them all and below is the score with a short comment:

Irish Pub Sundsvall Guldkusten (tap) 4,3%

It poured a hazy brown-golden liquid with a dirty yellow foam. Strong smell of malt and yeast. Very smooth and easy to drink. Taste of malt and hops.

Total: 2,8/5

Eskilstuna Oktoberfestöl (tap) 6,2%

It poured a hazy golden liquid with a small white foam that left some lacing. Very weak smell. Some sourness, a bit stingy mouthfeel. Decent beer.

Total: 2,5/5

Tanngnjost och Tanngnisrir (tap) 7,5% (couldn't find it at Ratebeer)

It poured a dark hazy golden liquid, with a small yellow foam that left some lacing. Smelled of smoked ham. Smooth mouthfeel and very smokey, like it had been poured through a large chunk of smoked ham.

Total: 3/5

Oppigårds Pale Ale (tap) 5,5%

It poured a slightly hazy golden liquid with a small white foam. It had a fresh smell and taste of grassy and flowery hops, citrus, grapefruit and hay. Nice!

Total: 3,2/5

Skebo Vinteröl (Stilla fNatt?) (tap) 5,4%

It poured a hazy brown liquid with a small white foam. It had a weak smell of caramell and malt. Some spices in the smell. Good christmas beer.

Total: 2,7/5

Slussvaktaren Strömsholm (tap) 4,5%

I rated this a couple of weeks ago.

Total: 3/5

Monks Kaffeporter (bottle)

It poured a dark liquid with a small light brown foam. It had a smell and taste of coffey, chocolate and something smoked. Also some sweetness. Fairly smooth mouthfeel.

Total: 3,1/5

The winner was Oppigårds Pale Ale, which was also the beer I voted for. Congratulations!
