We all have regular day jobs in the brewery. Our committed group consists of clerks and brewers that share the same core belief. Our simple mission is to create great brews and have fun.
That pretty much sums it up. Hopefully, this means that we can share some fun times with you.

Canned (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, grass, floral notes and some mild maltyness. Flavour is rather much the same. A quite pleasant balance.

Plastic bottle (thanks mom & dad). Reddish amber colour, small white head. Aroma is grassy and floral hops with some sweet malts. Flavour is fruity, bitter, floral and also quite malty. Pleasant balance. Aroma a bit weak, but otherwise I would say "more? yes please"

0.33l can from Systembolaget Passagen, Stockholm. Pours a clear but unfiltered pale golden body with a big and lacing fluffy white head. Aroma is grainy and lagerish with a thin hint of sour and malts. Average carbonation level and a thin oily mouthfeel. Not bad flavors, nothing's off. Light pale-malty and easy. Not complicated in any way, just a solid lager.

330ml Can - Golden with a white head. Malt, grapefruit, lemon and tea in the aroma. Hoppy, soapy and slightly tart taste with notes of passion fruit, tea and grapefruit. Lacking a bit of body, but not too bad. These ’Brutal Brewing’ beers are certainly improving.

Malty, roasted taste with citrus, chocolate and tart hints of sour cherries. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness and a fairly low bitterness.
