(Bottle) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, sourish nose with oak wood, citrus, lemon, barnyard, white bread, apricots, apple cider vinegar and hay. Lilac? Possibly a touch, but not very prominent. Fruity, tart taste with notes of oak wood, white bread, apricots, hay, barnyard and lemon. Low bitterness. Medium body, dry. Really tasty and refreshing, with a fresh acidity and a mild floral touch. Very nice.

Draught @ Craft Beer Garden 2019, Helsinki. Smooth, funky and tartish with some bretta, wood, floral notes and oak. Okay but not the best of the series.

Flaska från systembolaget 2018. Grumligt gul. Doftar blommigt och lite gräs. Lätt syrlig smak, lime, blommor och apelsin. Len munkänsla och mjuk kolsyra.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Hazy pale golden, small head. Tropical floral nose with an initial surge of stale butter, that wears of with time. Mildly acetic with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Citric acid with underlying fruity sweetness. Interesting hibiscus-like floral stuff. Low bitterness. Nice, once that butter goes away.

(375ml bottle from Systembolaget) Pours rather hazy medium gold with a small but stable white head. Notes dominated by sour fruity tones of citrus, sour fruit candies, gooseberries, lactic and moderate acetic acid, slightly vinous, there is some lilac floral tone on the tongue but more in the nose. Finish is rather sour and a bit sweet, oak and grain along with lingering floral touches. Light to medium bodied, soft bottle-conditioned carbonation. I am not wild about the extent of the sourness which I think overpowers the lilac addition. Decent but not exceptional. I preferred the non-Vild version.
