Unusual in being a new, ’modern’ blonde table beer since 1999. On 75 cl bottles and cans. Cream white, sticky head, deep orange blonde colour, clear. Weak malt sweetness in the nose but the different other ingredients, i.e. oats, rye, lemon, orange and coriander are all noticeable, as well as abstract impressions of Brussels sprouts, cloves, tomato, pear and iron. Grainy taste, bit sourish, light spicy rye effect, lemonade-like ascorbic acid, light coriander, no hops worth mentioning and thin and watery finish with some citrus peel, bit metallic. Interesting concept, but artificial, I still prefer the more artisanal table beers. Not to be taken too seriously as it is literally marketed towards children.

can, pours light amber with a whispy white head, laces fairly well. Aromas of sweet cereal. Tastes extremely sweet, almost like white grape juice. Next to no bitterness. I can see this table beer appealing to kids but not to me.

Bottled. Clear amber, minimal head. Fruiny nose with some melon. Sweet with rounded mouthfeel, but it’s not thin! Fruity with notes of saccharine and black currant. No bitterness. At least it has some substance, making it a reasonably drinkable table beer.

Bottle. Strong barley malt aroma. Medium amber color with large head. Sweet berry flavor but little malt and no hops. A bit too sweet but okay for a low alcohol

Canned. Deep golden colour, sparkling bubbly white head, which vanishes very fast. Aroma is hay mixed with apples and rubber. Flavour is sour apples, bread, hay and slightly rubbery. Actually more like a lemonade than a beer...

Bottled(750ml). -deep golden coloured, no head, dusty caramel nose, aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, yeast, coriander and something that reminds me on maple syrup, watery but quite good and unusual beverage

Straw-amber to honey-golden colour; very thick & fine, just off-white head, collapsing. Different malts, coriander, strange grains, fruity aromas. Totally fruity, lemonade-like taste with a vague grainy background. Artificial fruitjuice/sweets flavour. Very light MF as expected, but retronasal nearly syrupy impression. Well, it’s meant for the children. In it’s class it’s nowhere the worst - neither the best.

A hazy amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel while the flavor is sour, a little flat and with notes of caramel. But the body is thin.
