Named after the lights of the aurora, regularly viewed in our northern skies.
Citrus flavours combine with hints of fresh bread: giving way to spice, citrus and apricot hoppiness. It has a delicious crisp hop character without being overly aggressive. Perfectly refreshing.
Hops: Perle, Hersbrucker, Saaz
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Malted Wheat

Cloudy, pale yellow body. Short lived foam. Mix of citrus and malty aroma. Fresh juicy fruit flavour (orange and mandarin) with hints of grain. Light, but well rounded (Half on gravity at The 11th St Albans Beer Festival, 28.09.2006)

Bottle. Golden beer with a light white head. The aroma is quite dry with a certain roasted nature, the flavour is quite grassy, heavily dry and bitter with a touch of smokiness. Overall a poorish beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden, clear beer with a rather high carbonation. The very good aroma-hops spices up a traditional bitter proving that also a low alcohol beer can contain a lot of flavour. Very hoppy. 090504

The aroma is light but perfumated sweet and malty. The color is golden and it has a fine though disappearing head. The flavor is sweet, malty, and rather bitter. This beer is a bit light in the palate - but really good for a 3.8% ABV.
