Bottled, from Systembolaget. Lightly hazy golden, rich firm head. Intense spicy floral hop aroma. Sweet with well sized body and soft mouthfeel. Cushiony, honey-rolled grainy malt. Intense floral, sicy hops. Long bitter finish. Like a hoppier helles bock with a touch of fruityness.

Flaska. Stor maltighet med hög sötma, smakar även mer alkohol än vad som är fallet. Mycket örter och lite honung. Nästan så man tänker bock snarare än helles? Men bra lager är det!

Bottled way back in 2006 (rating from then). Poured dark w/nice head. Yeast, fruit, malts etc - just about as awesome as one would expect from these guys/this type.

Bottle. A pretty decent witte but not to awesome, a little bit too much bitterness without enough flavor? Or something to that effect.
