This is a steam lager brewed with a touch of smoked malt. Brewed as a thirst quencher that gives fruity character with the crispness and drinkability of a lager. A beer created by the brewers as a rebellion against the hop forward beers they saw as focus of so much attention.

Bottle. A hazy, pale orange colored beer topped by a big, dense, white head. The aroma has a distinct sourish touch, but it’s mostly on the fruity side. Some spent grains and overripe peaches too. It’s dry and effervescent on the palate, medium bodied. Overripe fruit, some sourish hints and a nice bitterness as well as a maltyness in the flavor. Grass. Long overripe fruit finish. Well, not a bad one in any way, not your average steam beer, and not my favorite in any way. 151107

33cl bottle from Citymarket Jumbo. Pours unclear golden color with a thick white head. Some light tart berries in aroma, probably not intended? Citrusy notes. Wheat, citrus and tartness flavorwise. Quite ok, refreshing.

Slightly hazy yellow color, small steady white head. Aroma is citrusy, grassy, lime peels and grainy. Light-bodied, crisp, active carbonation. Limegrass, citrus with fruity maltyness. Lingering citrus bitterness in the aftertaste. Unconventional steam beer.

A light yellow, strongly bubbling beer, a head is big and almost white. Aroma has strong lemon, some flowers. Taste is quite light, lemon, some grain, also some bitterness. Light+ bodied, strong carbonation. Strongly lemony, luckily not mustyness as typically in the californian common.

33 cl bottle @ Baltic Princess cabin. Batch 089: BBE 02/2016. Aroma is a bit musty with apricot, cereal and citrus. Also hayish grain. Flavour has apricot, cereal, some citrus and hints of grapefruit. Finishes with some menthol. I like my ccs more refreshing.

Keg at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy golden, small head. Tart lemon aroma,. Sweet with light body and clean mouthfeel. Fruity and yeasty with lemon washing up liquid as dominant flavour. Low-medium bitterness. Not good at all.
