X37 - Sigtuna Mohawk Extra India Pale Ale (Sweden)

An Extra IPA from a Swedish brewery right outside Stockholm. They craft some interesting beers, but this one was a small let down in my mind.

The nose is deep and very hoppy with notes of dried honey, fudge, sweet hay, oatmeal cereal and orange peel. Light but good. A lot of different scents on the nose but it is not that complex.

The taste is tight and fresh with a high bitterness and some dry yellow fruit. The finish is long and ends with a nice twist. The bitterness is not too high but there isn´t enough good fruit too back it up. Good though.
