On tap at ZIP 4020. Opaque yellow colour, moderate white head. Juicy aroma and flavour of citrus and tropical fruits, hints of pine, oatmeal and "spicy" hops - but unfortunately with too much lactose. Listen, ye gentlemen of Jåttå Gårdsbryggeri: when you have brewed a good IPA at a sturdy 8% ABV, you are not required to kill it with lactose. Just to let you know. Okay, the beer is indeed drinkable as it is, but would be even better with a less generous amount of lactose.

650 ml bottle, from Costco, Sacramento, ABV is 7.5%. This braggot appears to be more of a beer than a mead. Golden colour, small white head.
