Aroma is surprisingly fruity and floral from entirely too many esters. Faint sulfur and DMS notes to compliment the esters. Moderate corn aroma with a faint graininess. Surprisingly aromatic and not in a good way. Pours a very clear yellow gold with a thin white head that recedes fairly quickly. Only faint lacing and no legs. Flavor is better than the aroma but not by much. Sweet corn mixed with a floral/fruit ester upfront. Mid palate a fairly assertive bitterness kicks in with a hint of a metallic note in the finish. Finish has a lingering bitterness with a hint of sulfur and a light graininess. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Astringency is medium low, but way too high for style. Alcohol warmth is low but present. Overall hipsters have bad taste and this beer is further proof. The esters are too strong, the bitterness is too assertive, it's just not a clean beer, etc... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

355ml bottle, 4.5% abv., from Systembolaget Kiruna. Fragile white layer. A slight haze to a very light golden coloured body. Hints of wheaty fruits to the nose. Sweet fruity taste. Empty down the throat. Watered. Soft carbonated. Just about drinkable (Tromsø, 15.07.2012).

Flaske 0,355l fra Systembolaget, Kiruna. Drukket hjemme 3 Mai 12. Lys gylden. Veldig høyt skinnende hvitt skum som daler sakte. Rar metallisk aroma. Smaken har samme metallpreg. Søt, ubestemmelig ettersmak. Ikke god.
