Finally getting rid of this tick. Had the chance to get it tens of times, always skipped it. Faced with an unimpressive choice, I finally gave in and went for it. Yellow-golden body with a small white head. Malty nose, not much to it, highly unimpressive. The taste starts out messy, lemon, metal, dust, some light hoppy bitterness, grainy maltiness, soft yet... dunno. At first i didn’t like it, but then it kinda grew on me, it’s quite hoppy for a macro lager. And one should respect that.

Bottle. Pours pale amber golden with a small white head that dissipates with decent lacing. Aroma is grain, grass, honey. Flavor is about the same, lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Light body, slightly silky mouthfeel Not bad.

Appearance: Golden color with a fine frothy white head. Some lacing.
Aroma: Caramel malt and light hoppy.
Palate: Medium body. Moderate sweet and a fine mild bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Mild caramel malt and light hoppy.
Overall impression: If I am buying a lager beer, it is often this one. Average standard lager, but I feel it gives a nice fine mouthfeel.
Personal stats: Can from Systembolaget in Strömstad, Sweden.

Canette 500ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de céréales légèrement sucrées avec des notes de houblon herbeux aux notes florales et quelques traces de biscuits. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux faibles notes crémeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût sucré de notes de cérérales plus sucrées puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon herbeux (foin) aux notes florales. Post-goût court composé de grains et de notes amères de houblon.

golden colour, great, though quickly disappearing head, correct bitterness with a bit too much alcoholic sweetness; considering its relatively high price, it will not be my favourite, but worth to try

Bottle pour to lager glass. Pretty boring: nothing offensive, but nothing to make it stand out either.

50cl can in Sliema, Malta. Pours clear golden with a white head. Lightly malty aroma, reminds me more of a pale lager. Sweet and lightly malty with a noticable bitteneness in the finish. Didn’t like it much the first time i tried and it seems my feelings haven’t changed much. Drinkable, but far from my prefered choice. (2012-09-25)

Tin. Pours yellow with medium white head. Aroma is a light grassyness. Malty flavour with an unpleasant greasiness in the mouthfeel. Greasiness continues in the light citrus hop finish.

500 ml can. Pours a clear golden with medium/full head with lots of carbonation. Aroma of cereal, hay, and dry honey. Warm flavors of biscuit, cereal, and grass. Nothing special but easily drinkable.
