Namned Bomble Bee 17 in Sweden and The Bee 17 in the UK.
Bomble Bee 17 turned out pretty much how we wanted a pilsener style lager from our backyard brewery to be. Golden colour and a pearly white head. Elegant dry body and a refreshing bitterness. But then, while lagering, our brewmaster chose to bombard the brew with hops to give the beer its final profile. Grassy Saaz battling Flowery Willamette for your nose’s attention. We call it a Hop-Struck Pilsener.

330ml can from Ocado. Clear golden orange colour, huge frothy white head bubbles up during pour but quickly collapses into a very thin head. Aroma is quite fruity, hops, sweet, malt, pine. Sweet, fruity flavour with a hoppy, grapefruit bitterness to finish.

As "Bee17 4.7%" Dark golden colour. The aroma and flavour have light fruity, hop. An ok thirst quencher. Marginally better than a regular lager.

Ambar clara. Dos dedos de espuma que aguanta hasta el final. Aroma eminentemente malteado. En boca cambia, con predominio lupulado, muy afrutado. Seca, muy seca. Pero se deja beber. Apreciable.

33cl can from Tesco, Camberley at 4.7% ABV. A dark straw pour with a billowing white head; corn syrup aroma; a sour grainy taste with some grassy bitterness, ans some rasping alcohol to finish. This is more like a cheap high-alcohol Euro-lager than a premium product.

Can from Tesco Enniskillen [180115]
Dark amber, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of pale light malts, dab of citrus, slightly spicy
Taste of pale malts, some grain, soft bitter hops, dab of spicy hop
Palate - Medium carb, medium light body, soft bitter, bit oily. Finish is soft dry, more bitter spicy hop
Overall - Soft hopped lager, not too bad, better than macro swill

PET-flaske 330ml fra Systembolaget, Gyldenbrun med et bra skum. Litt lacing. Aroma av malt. Smaken mest preget av malt men også antydning til frukt. Anonym.
