What about the beer?

Colour is golden orange with a medium-sized vanishing white head. Aroma gives fresh grass, mild orange and some hoppy-bitter flavours. Taste starts with gentle bite of semi-sweet hops and malts. Strongly Amarillo-orange-flavoured, softly malty and slightly bitter trio takes over. Towards the end sour and tart lemon-grapefruit gets on top with some sidekick hop and pine. Aftertaste has grapefruit bitterness and piny dryness.

Following its name, the beer in an ode to Amarillo hops - the orange is wild and deep. The experience starts very fresh and delicate but gets angry and bitter in the end. Magnificent American Pale Ale.

A great Swedish beer matches nicely with a song by a great Swedish band. While you're all expecting something from ABBA, let's make it clear to the fans, that it's very unprobable to find Dancing Queen or Mamma Mia on this blog. Instead you'll have to settle for this rocking classic from the 80's:

Europe: Rock the Night (YouTube)

From the 1986 album The Final Countdown (originally from the soundtrack of 1985 film On the Loose), the song was written by Joey Tempest.
