Lundgren's Lager is a golden-hued beer with full body and a beautiful aromatic taste of hops. A more bitter beer is probably not commercially brewed in Sweden but the refreshing character with touch of honey and citrus makes the beer extremely smooth, in spite a bitterness of 40 BU.
ALKOHOL: 4,9%
HUMLE: Cascade, Cluster, Saaz
MALT: Pilsnermalt, Münchenermalt, karamellmalt
Den smått historiska ölen Lundgrens Lager, med den förskräcklige snömannen på etiketten, är tillbaka! När den lanserades 1996 var den helt revolutionerande med sin humleprofil.
Lundgrens Lager fick namnet efter en av skaparna – Håkan Lundgren. Med dåtidens mått mätt var den revolutionerande med sin enorma mängd humle som bestod främst av humlesorterna Cascade och Cluster. Det var sorter som inte använts tidigare och ölet tog ölsverige med storm. Den blev snabbt en snackis och mycket omtyckt och omtalad.
Designen med den förskräcklige snömannen som frontfigur tecknades av Håkan Lundgren själv och fick en reklambyrå att hoppa högt av glädje och valde den för att pryda etiketten. Givetvis finns den med på återlanseringen av denna friska lager, som också är den första burkölen som Nils Oscar gör sedan 2002.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a one finger thick slowly diminishing white head. Very floral hops aroma. Flavour is light pinewood and loads of more floral notes. Mild caramel malt base with a light breadish note as the beer heats up. Growing dry bitterness in the finish. Reminds me a bit about a fresh Orval, I don’t get at all why this has been retired. One of my all-time favourites.

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy white head. Fruity nose with grassy hops, grapefruit and white bread. Fruity, hoppy taste with grapefruit, tropical fruit, white bread and grassy hops in a nice, hoppy finish. Some buttery notes of malt sweetness lingers in the background. Medium body. Very nice lager with a distinct hoppy character. Sadly, the brewery have decided to stop production of this beer, yet another move away from the micro tradition for Nils Oscar.

Bottled. Clear, golden beer with an off-white head. Fruity and piny hops and malt in the aroma. The flavor is hoppy, with pinecones and some malty sweetness. Thin to medium body and a nice bitterness in the finish. (061019)

Bottle - Bruxellensis Festival. Deep copper colour with no head. Malts are ok, it’s fine. Some nice hop on end. Re-rate from bottle at GBBF, exactly the same score. Spooky

Bottle, best before October 2006 from the generous Engelsmann, consumed on 9/13/06.
Bright, sparklingly clear yellow-straw, with a plethora of bubbles about the liquid. Even with a forceful pour, I can’t seem to coax all that much head out of it. What is there, is white and rather quickly dissipating, leaving minimal lace behind.
Fantastically dry aroma up front, crackling with bitter, grassy hops and starkly dry straw/hay notes. As it carries through to the crisp, well-lagered, cleanly yeasted finish, it picks up a spoonful of light honey and touches of vanilla cream. No flaws evident in the nose, with the hops shining brilliantly and acerbically. Medium to medium-high strength of aroma, well-extracted, rich malts, though well-attenuated of course. Redolent of wet, ripe barley and fresh baked baguette.
Unfortunately, though I didnt pick it out in the nose, there is a fairly apparent streak of diacetyl in the flavor. It hangs on the end and would be easily tolerable in an ale, but for a lager that is all about crispness and cleanliness, it is rather dulling. Still, up front there are the greenest of leafy/grassy hops, pleasantly, though certainly not overbearingly bitter, followed by sweet, creamy-honey sugars, just enough to remove any thoughts of thinning or wateriness from the body. Lightly toasted grains and hints of sourdough creep on the edges as well. Carbonation is somewhat low and it loosens steadily as the beer breathes. Fortunately, I didnt waste much time in polishing off this simple but delightful quaffer. Light body, no alcohol noted, too bad about the diacetyl.

Big offwhite coarse head over deep yellow body with ongoing carbonation. Bitterish flowery aroma with soft metal notes. Lovely sweetish caramel and nut malt taste with dry, malty aftertaste. Faint spiciness throughout, and some metal. An excellent lager. (0.33l bottle.)
