Swedish microbrewery Sigtuna has today revealed the label artwork for their forthcoming beer Sigtuna ESB (Extra Sigtuna Bitter), a 5.6% ABV beer that is being launched in Sweden sometime within the first quarter of 2010.

The label, which features a photograph of Tower Bridge in London as a nod to the beer style’s homeland, is described as ”a light bitter with malty tones and a pronounced bitter finish”. It is brewed using only British hops, with Challenger the most dominant variety. The brewery also claim it is the perfect partner to that most traditional of British meals – fish and chips.

I’ll post more details of this beer and hopefully some words from Sigtuna’s Head Brewer shortly. Watch this space!
