Bottle from Carrefour Calais and drunk at home. Clear dark brown colour lasting beige head. Quite a hoppy aroma. Some good malty flavour some good grapefruit hop flavour throughout. Yes in fact, although it has that malty low alcohol flavour it's pretty good throughout. If I had to drink a low abv beer and drive this would be a good choice.

Bottled picked up at Tesco. It pours clear deep brown with a medium foamy white head. The sweet, oily, piney sting, caramel, grass, light herbal, resin, peach ice tea and some orange marmalade. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, oily, resinous, caramel, brown bread, oily fruit, peach ice tea, pine and resin with a drying finish. Light body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Wouldnt guess this is supposed to be lager per se. Not bad for low abv.

(Bottle, from ICA Hässelby Gård, Stockholm) Dark amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with crisp-bread, caramel, prunes, orange peel and a touch of pine needles. Malty, hoppy taste with caramel, dark bread, raisins, pine needles and a balanced citric/piney bitterness in the finish. Light body, mainly dry. Well made and tasty, with a good hop presence. Quite enjoyable.

Bottled. Clear amber, mid sized head. Aroma of mango and bready wort. Sweet with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Mostly bready wort, but well rounded and covered with a thick blanket of tropical fruit hops. Low to medium bitterness.
