A lager that pours smoothly without an over-inflated head, Pistonhead Flat Tire has a balanced and rich malt body and balanced, slightly marked bitterness. Centennial and Mosaic varieties of American hops give the brew a fresh floral aroma with hints of tropical fruit and citrus.

Can from systembolaget. So glad this beer as good as I remembered from student days. 10kr and you get a superb beer. Fresh, tasty, gluggable. Shows how mosaic hops can make a superb drinkable beer when used right. Only slight cheap aftertaste but overall a very very good deal beer. (23/2/2017) --- Time to rerate this old gem. Interestingly it achieves almost the same score. 3.9 to 3.7. Although at times it has macro hints it is overall a really easy going hopped lager that hits good for its price.

Can from Oddbins. Appearance - golden with a nice fluffy head. Nose - citrus and a bit dank. A hint of off smell too. Taste - mainly lemon and pith. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - decent after I got past the nose.

Can 330ml (Systembolaget Umeå)
Golden color, small white head. Aroma has pineapple fruityness - simple and light. Light-bodied. Soft fruity flavor with pineappel and gooseberry. Quite simple and watery but not hopeless brew.

Can from Morrisons, Leeds. Yellow-blonde with a thin head. Hoppy, with a lemon and grapefruit citrusness in its taste, and it lingers. Dry-hopped with its aroma that has a more general, slightly skunky fruitiness. Has plenty of lager character.
