Burk från SB. Något ljusare guldfärgad med vit krona. Helheten genomsyras av en tydlig smörkola-ton och en relativt kraftig beska. I Bärnsten var det något mer balanserat och det går mer rimligen att tillskriva malten, men här är det svårt att förbise.

Bottle from Hotel Jamteborg, Östersund. This is a really decent lager. It had a strong bitterness which I don’t know if it is brilliant or not nice but it is smooth as a moisturised bottom cheek. Big grass aftertaste. As far as a lager goes, very decent indeed. Shame scores don’t reflect it too much in lagers here. (21/5/17) ---- Keg at Captain Cooks, Östersund. Hell is back baby. With classic jamtland yeast flavour, strong NZ hop bitterness finish (?). Hella good. 3.1 to 3.4. (Unknown date but 2024 most likely)---Keg at Captain Cooks, Östersund. Nice British ending to it 6.7 to 6.6. (3/3/25). --- Can at Hoggars, Frösön. 6.6 to 6.8. (6/7/25).

"Vintage" bottle at Craft Islington, thanks to Chris & Ruth. It pours clear deep golden - amber with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, stewed orange, candy, lemonade, limeade, bread and melon. The taste is bitter - sweet, sticky, white bread, grain, orange, tinned peach and slight oiliness with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent for its advancing years.

Bottle shared in London - huge thanks to Chris O for sharing this treat! Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has melon, ripe orange, pale bread. Sweet, bready, with light hay bitterness. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finaihes with more doughy, bready sugars, vague citrus notes. Fine.
