Trying to use the knowledge I have gained from previous beers I wanted to make something good for Midsummer. Aiming for a pale ale with a lot of citrus and passion fruit flavored hops.
Spending Midsummer in Tärnsjö which is known for having a lot of Mosquito’s made it easy about which animal this beer was meant to be. The name ended up being “Tärnsjö törstsläcker”.
One interesting thing happened when I opened one of the bottles. It went crazy with the carbon dioxide and over half of the beer went out…

Sorry for the late update, the beer is all out now. I really liked it, this had probably the most hops and I am now starting to turn in my taste. The next beer will not use much hops at all.
