Beer's Tasted - Svea IPA

Another ale from De Struise Brouwers of Oostvleteren Belgium, limited availability in the US.  Made with barley, oats, wheat and rye, it pours a cloudy, deep copper color with a dense, think & lasting head.  It has a barnyard hay aroma. The noble hops are smooth and lasting on the palate, with notes of malt and fruit. Comes in 11.2 oz bottle and weighs in at 7% ABV.  A very good ale that I'd rate a 90+.
