Bottle@Monks Café, Wallingatan. Goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized foamy white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is grainy, some cardboard, mild herbal and earthy tones with quite much sugary sweet tones too. Flavour is sugar, some herbal, mild earthy and dusty tones with cardboard being there as well.

75cl-bottle. Hellgelb im Glas, kaum stabiler Schaum. Der Geruch ist sehr neutral. Im Antrunk ist das Bier süßlich, stark wässrig. Zum Hauptteil kommt eine leicht herbe Note hinzu, die süßstoffgeprägte Süße kann aber nicht über die penetrante Wässrigkeit hinwegtäuschen. Der Nachgeschmack ist fast nicht vorhanden, ein ganz wenig süßlich-herb, aber halt süßstoff-chemisch. --> one of the most boring and watery blond tablebeers I came across!!

Good dense snowwhite head, very fast gone over pale metallic-golden beer. Duff, grainy nose, tad grassy. False-tasting sweetness overlying malt-y base. Completely watery & empty. Ough. If this has to wean the kiddies to good beer, they’re gonna stick to cola.

A hazy orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet mostly with straw notes, while the flavor is sweet - but like the artificial sweetener of sodapops - that’s not my cup of beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a bubbly head that vanishes in no time. As a quencher this works OK I guess, but it has a lot of the shortcomings that haunts low alcohol beers: an odd soft, artificial sweetness (saccharine is added) and an unpleasant chemical tang. 050298
