Pale golden colour with a white head. Fresh hoppy grape nose. Hoppy and light fruity flavour. Grape and tropical fruits. The malt body is unfotunately a little bit to thin, so the grape hop flavour are a little bit to dominant. Anyway a fresh and tasty summer lager!

33cl bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma of malt and hops with a hint of caramel. Light body, quite bitter and slightly watery. Ok, but nothing to write home about. Bitter and refreshing.

33 cl bottle from Systembolaget. BB 01 MAR 20013, sampled on June 22, 2012Clear amber color, big lasting cream colored head. Malty sweet, fruity wild strawberries, somewhat lactic and metallic scent, a bit candy like. Inte helt oäven.Fairly dry, herbal, to the bitter side, hints of acidicy due to lack ot residual sweetness, a tiny hint of malt, mainly minerals and a tocuh of metallic taste. Aftertaste goes to minerals and bitterness, though also a little bit fruity and estery. Also some sand and wet stones, like falling face first with an open mouth onto the wet beach when getting out of the ocean in the northern Swedish archipelago with its brackish water.Medium to medium thin mouthfeel, fairly high dry a bit harsh bitterness.All in all an OK beer, better than many (most?) Swedish macro brewery beers in the pale lager class that is so popular. Still clean enough to probably be enjoyed by the "masses" as well.

330ml can purchased at Systembolget Kiruna. An organic beer with a clear, golden body. Creamy, white head leaving dotted spots behind. Noble hoppy treat with citrus to the nose. Basically citrus hops in flavour, lightly spiced. A nice, mid-dry bitter aftertaste. A good lager, indeed (Tromsø, 17.06.2012).

Can from Systembolaget. Pours semi pale yellow with a light white head. Citrusy aroma. Quite hoppy taste with some caramell malt but unfortunately also some of the typical swedish macro lager off tastes. But yet highly drinkable!

(Bottle) Reddish amber colour with brief, foamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of bread, orange peel, dried apricots and toasty malt. Malty taste with dark bread, toast, orange peel, caramel, raisins and a gentle citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, fairly dry. A decent vienna ... but hardly fantastic.

Can. Indeed citrusy... and quite refreshing! Too bad that it’s a bit unclean and thin. I would however consider taking this beer with me on a hike or a picnic.

Can. Clear golden with a large white head. Sweet aroma and taste of light hops, metal and some earth. Thin mouth feel. Drinkable but boring.

Canned. Clear golden, rich firm head. Grapefruit hop aroma. Sweetish with clean hard mouthfeel. Plenty of boiled vegetables and stale butter, notes of metal. Diluted grapefruit before a resiny bitter finish. Unpolished, hopped up macro lager with poor drinkability.
