Avis Rapax – Stigbergets Bryggeri and Apex Brewing Company

Avis Rapax by Stigbergets Bryggeri and Apex Brewing Company. Double New England IPA, 8% ABV.

Hazy and juicy mango colour, pours a pretty big head.
Tropical, stone fruity and a bit citrusy aromas of mango, sweet cake, apricot and orange.
Flavours are tropical, stone fruity and a bit citrusy, with mango, apricot, sweet cake, grapefruit and pineapple.
Juicy mouthfeel, distinct bitterness and quite a boozy bite. Nicely balanced, lots of fruity hoppiness but also some nice bitterness. Took me a while to get around to drinking this. I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed, it’s a nice beer, but expectations are super high when two of Swedens best breweries make something together. 4 out of 5.
