Port Brewing High Tide (Bottle) 6,5%
This beer was part of a news release at Systembolaget a couple of months ago. It cost 89 SEK and according to www.systembolaget.se there are still bottles available but it is probably just a miss count on their behalf as usual.

Comment:
I enjoyed this beer, a nice american style IPA fresh with lots of hops both grassy, fruity and a very noticeable grapefruit flavor. With a very high bitterness if that is what you fancy. I think this would work great on a hot summer day. If I where to combine this with food I would choose a tasty and salty hard cheese.

Total: 4,1/5
