Bottle. Pretty average stuff. Pours a light red with a slightly off-white head. Weak aroma of sweet malts and some caramel. Flavor is moderately sweet with some hop presence, but very little depth. Medium-light in body. Very easy drinking, as long as you don’t think about it too much.

(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 16 March 2010) Amber colour with brief, white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, tea, red berries and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, grain, red fruit and floral hops in a fairly dry finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Crisp and clean, but wouldn’t suffer from some more bite.

Bottle: Pours a deep copper with a small beige head. Aroma of dirty malts, husky grains, and light florals. Lots of lager malt in the taste with light florals. Not very good.
