Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a clear light golden colored body with a thick one finger white lumpy head that left speckled lacing trickling down the sides of the glass. A fair amount of carbonation is seen rising.
The smell had some hops with some pine, grassiness and lighter fruits. I also note some light pepper in the smell.
The taste had the lighter fruits (citrus) dominate with some pine and hops come back but remain very much so in the background. Some malts come out in the taste.
The palate is mostly balanced, sessionable, crisp aftertaste and finish.
Overall, this is not a bad beer, but nothing spectacular. I think I would have this again, but most likely on tap.

A light yellow beer with a medum nad white head. The nose is unique, sweet malts, mandarin, flowers and honey. Taste is malty and slightly sweet of honey, flowers, hint of citrusfruits. Bitterness is quite mild, but still it’s enough. Basic taste of malts are there all the time. Medium bodied, smooth and pleasant to drink. Interesting and unique Pils, and yes, there are some "Noble" in this beer.

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Gusher! Pours tiny hazy yellow with a frothy white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of trace and lacing on the glass. Smell is subtle with crackers, grass, lemon zest, dry soil and hints of lemonade. Taste is bitter and herbal with crackers, lemon balm, grass, dry wood, lemon grass, lemon zest, sea salt, dry soil and hints of lemon juice. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry and light bodied. Finish is bitter with crackers, lemon grass, lemon zest, cedar, dry soil and hints of persimmon and old bread. Nicely refreshing...

Pours pale golden with a firm head. Aroma is grass and some odd spice. Taste is crisp, clean and just a little green apple on the finish. Clean and crisp finish.

Bottle at home from Terre de Boissons Calais. Aroma is soft earthy hop and slight citrus with some nice grain store. Golden yellow pour with a long lasting white foam head. Flavour is clean happy oils with grapefruit and lemon. Very nice refreshing beer. Slightly too sweet and a little cif lemon.
