Bottle. Clear, golden liquid with medium egg-white head. Aroma of corn, stale earthy hops, metal, bread and some cereal. Some sulfur. Maybe some grassy hops. Smells like a cheap eurolager. Where is the Centennial hops? Not good. Taste is dry with a metallic, medium bitterness with toasty, biscuity notes and a little corn. Light bodied with too high carbonation and watery mouthfeel. Another dissapointment from Spendrups/Brutal Brewing. Why won’t they brew the beers they had at SBWF?

Canned. Clear deep golden, rocky head. Evident hoppy tropical fruit aroma. Sweetish with light body and clean mouthfeel. Completely dominated by perfumy hops, mango and pineapple. The slightest hint of boiled vegetables peeps through in a salty finish with resiny bitterness. What took the big guys so long to figure out that using enough hops will cover the flaws in their lagers? This is simplistic, but certainly pretty enjoyable for what it is.

330 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours clear golden with a small frothy and fizzy white head without leaving much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet, malty and slightly stale with yeasty bread, orange zest, grass and hints of caramel, metal and plums. Taste is sweet and bitter with caramel, yeast, orange peal, bread, unripe mango and lots of wet grass. Mouthfeel is sharp, watery, slightly unbalanced and thin bodied. Finish is sweet, tiny bitter and stale with old bread, silage and hints of citrus and grass. Neither tastes nor smells good. Not very ecological to waste foodstuffs making this.

Golden colour with a white head. Hoppy nose. Hoppy and grassy flavour. But also a bit thin, close to call it waterish.

Can from ICA Maxi, Lindhagen. A clean brew. Fresh, refreshing brew. Nice hoppyness, a bit thin of course.

Can. Nice sweet and fruity aroma. Notes of tropical fruits. Taste is a bit thin due to the low abv, but still impressingly tasty. Crisp. Notes of caramel, peach and grape. Refreshing and highly drinkable.

(Can) Pale golden colour with brief, white head. Malty nose with notes of bread, grass, hay, tropical fruit and slightly citric hops. Malty taste with bread, tropical fruit, citrus and decent amounts of grassy hops in a short finish. Rather light body, with just a touch of sweetness. Drinkable.

500 ml can bought @ Ica Supermarket Majorna. Pours clear pale golden with a rather big creamy and bubbly white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of trace on the glass. smell is subtle and rather fresh and hoppy with caramel, plums, pineapple, orange peal and hints of bread. Taste is slightly sweet and quite bitter with orange peal, grapefruit juice, pineapple, grass and hints of caramel. Mouthfeel is unbalanced, watery and thin bodied. Finish is very short lived and bitter with some orange peal and pineapple. Unbalanced while not tasting of a lot. Very good for a low alcohol macro lager though but I guess that doesn’t say that much.

Bottled. Clear deep golden, minimal head. Dusty nose where citrus tries to cover boiled vegetables. Dryish with clean hard mouthfeel. Salty ashy finish with some metal. Lifeless and pointless macroswill.
