Bottled (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, mediumsized foamy white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is peas, cooked vegetables, grains and some mild strange notes. Flavour is bready malts, grass, some mild tealeafs as well as mild dry wooden and hayish notes. Quite pleasant, but something in the aroma tells this one is not totally ok.

Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Vague grassy oily nose. Dryish with clean mouthfeel. Fruity and light bodied. Earl Grey tea hoppiness lift it and gives it some late bitterness. The first signs of spiring life from the pseudo-brewery in Luleå.

(Bottle, Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 8 April 2009) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly toasted nose with spicy notes of caramel and bread. Malty, clean taste with bread, caramel, toasty grain and a spicy finish with a touch of malt sweetness. Good balance, medium body. Not really exciting, but well made and tasty.

(Bottle, Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 8 April 2009) Golden colour with lasting, white head. Malty, grassy nose with grain, toffee, hay and bread. Malty, bready, clean taste with notes of grain, toffee and grassy hops in a nicely balanced finish with some malt sweetness. A decent pilsner in the Bohemian style.

Bottled. Pale yellow, fizzy head. Cardboard aroma. Sweetish and watery with vague notes of butter and metal. No bitterness. A weak imitation of a tropical lager made for a market situated around the arctic circle - sounds like a winning idea to me...

Bottled at Söderbärke Mikroölfestival. Copper colour, small head. papery nose. Light-medium bodied. No hops, no substance - all cardboard. A bit crystallic but vastly empty and unpleasant.
