Ölsvammel-A Beer Blog Without Focus

A rough English translation from http://www.beerdrivel.se/?p=4233
South Plains APA (50 cl bottle) 6,0%

I met Anders And Ale in Örebro a week ago and then I include a bottle of South Plains APA. South Plains Brewing Company is a new brewery from Malmö. It is American Jeff behind the brewery and the idea is to brew beer for beer enthusiasts . Sounds promising, I think. This beer was available in the order range from September 1, but also on the shelves down in Malmö (Limhamn, Mobilia and Crown Prince).

Style: American Pale Ale

Cost: 51.90 SEK (This was a sample)

Appearance: 4/5

It has a hazy amber liquid with a medium off-white foam.

Smell: 8/10

Greatly hoppy scent with apricot, citrus, grapefruit and tallbar.

Taste: 8/10

The first thing I note is a sharp but pleasant bitterness. At the same time, it has a hefty hop aroma with citrus, pine, apricot and grapefruit. Light malt body that is only sufficient to lift the hops.

Mouthfeel: 4/5
The body is light, carbonation is around medium and the mouthfeel is smooth. Boneless as Grandpa would say.
comment:

This was a very pleasant acquaintance, an APA that are both good to drink while keeping it interesting. It feels slightly heavier than many other APA's on the market, but it makes me absolutely nothing. Possibly the bitterness a bit too strong versus hop aroma which is not completely successful match. But I would like to drink more glasses of this and it is a good rating.

However, one should look at the price if you want to compete at Systembolaget. But as I understand it, this beer brewed at the new brewery in Malmö in the future, the version I tested was the brew at Amager. Which I guess is one explanation for the price when Danish beer is usually around 50-patch in price.

Anyway clearly recommended to order if you like this type of beer
