Bottle at ChrisO’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011. Holy shit, a Premium Lager scoring over 3? Pours clear gold with a white, foamy head. Crisp lager nose, light sugar. Sweet flavor, light notes of bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Mild doughy malts in the finish, nips of white sugar. Good beer.

50 cl bottle from Systembolaget. Clear, amber (as the name would suggest) liquid with medium frothy off-white head. Aroma is quite malty with notes of caramel, noble/floral hops, butter and fruit. Taste is quite dry with medium to high bitterness (for the style) and similar notes as the aroma. Well balanced and highly drinkable. Medium bodied with nice carbonation. Good, refreshing beer.

(Bottle, Hamrestugan, Duved, Sweden, 20 March 2011) Golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with orange peel, buttery malt and toast. Malty, fruity taste with notes of bready malt, toast, orange peel and a mild citrussy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with some malt sweetness. Tasty and fresh. Quite nice, specially after a whole day of skiing.

(Draught at MacKinlay’s, Stockholm) Colour is pale amber (no surprise, the word bärnsten actually means amber), with foamy head. Nose is fruity, hoppy with citrus and some roasted notes. Taste is hoppy with citrus, caramel and hints of toffee and nuts. This is a very nice beer, but I do think it was even better (and somewhat more hoppy) before. Very good balance between the fruit, hops and the roasted malt.

Bottled at Mosebacke, Stockholm. Cloudy amber, creamy head. Floral perfumy nose. Mid sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Clean crystal malt profile, notes of grass, butter and minerals. Salty finish.

Initially it was by all likeliness the most bitter of commercial Swedish beers. Like a bottom fermented IPA. Now it seems slightly toned down, resulting in better balance.
The rare cask conditioned version is even better, sporting more chewy maltiness and wonderful complexity.
