Kloster beer saw the light in 1995, when Gotland Brewery opened. One can therefore conclude that it is the market's first färsköl with stand as trendsetters for other Swedish färsköl. The malt comes from both Sweden and Finland. The hops from Germany and the USA. The yeast from the Scottish Highlands and the unique water from Gotland. The result is a trend-setter!

First ratingInitial Rating Date: 2/14/2006Bottle, from the government shop Systembolaget. Widely available.Hazy dark golden color, didn’t try it very cold so the haziness is most likely due to the beer being unfiltered and un-pasteurized.Big white head that stayed a little while, but not long.Mix of malty and sour/acid scent.Quite sour taste, different from the "normal" Swedish beers. Very low bitterness and virutally no aftertaste. Although, come to think of it, the sourness does linger for a while.Not something I will buy often, but for a Swedish beer it’s interesting.7/3/6/3/11=3.0Rerate33 cl bottle from Systembolaget in Örnsköldsvik. Sampled on August 24, 2013.BB 16.04.2014.Hazy to cloudy golden color, fairly big off-white head. Malty, grainy, bready, fruity, hoppy scent and taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterenss. A bit fruity aftertaste.7/3/7/3/13=3.3

(Bottle 50 cl) Never before have I had a beer that smelled of....stewed strawberries. But believe me, that’s the case here. So if you never grasped the concept of fruity esters in an ale, then try this one, and you’ll understand.
Neat amber colour with a huge head, that never vanishes completely. Unfiltered and hence hazy. Fresh and....fruity with notes of vanilla in the aroma. Rather unique flavour - if not exactly of stewed strawberries - soft, malty with a discreet, dry bitterness. lovely. 151201

500 ml bottle. Golden colour, slightly hazy. Decent white head. Lager-like aroma with notes of flowers, hay and honey. Flavour is sourish and thin with some citussy notes. Short sourish aftertaste with metallic notes. Disappointing.

Bottled (BB 03/2005)
Hazy orange with small white head. Aroma is fruity with aromatic hops and hints of horseblanket, kind of Orval-like. Well-balanced, a bit too light bodied with fruity hoppyness and hints of honey. Soft hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Flavor is similar to English bitters. Propably fresh 6% was quite excellent, this version is only average.

An unclear orange beer with a small and fast disappearing head. The aroma is a flat wheaty aroma with a slight sweetness and fruitiness. The flavor is very fruity, a little flat with notes of oragnges, carbonation, and sourness. It ends on a fair bitterness. This beer is more unique than good.
