Canned (from K-supermarket, Pori). Deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity hops, mild malts as well as some slight grainy notes. Flavour is grains, mild hay and honey as well as some quite fruity and floral hops. Quite pleasant except for the grainy notes. Also a bit thin on the palate.

330ml can, beer gift from Finn, thanks. Clear, yellow-gold body. Fading, white head. Clear aroma of noble hops and pale malts. Fruity flavour with a surprisingly fine touch of dry hops. Short-lived bitter end. Soft carbonated. Above par for a Nordic lager. Food friendly (Tromsø, 21.04.2011).

330ml Can - Pale golden with a white head. Malt, corn, lemon and grain in the aroma. Sweet, grainy and malty taste. Thin and weak. It’s very appropriate that this beer was released on April 1st as I find it to be a complete joke. The text on the side is hilarious and basically plagiarises the famous Flying Dog quote. It’s a shame that they can’t produce better beers like some of the offerings from Gotlands Bryggeri. Cheap name, cheap taste. Just utter crap. The rating of this beer is partly down to the beer and partly down to the crap and misleading text on the can. Who do they think they’re trying to kid?

50 cl can. Poured clear golden with a thick head, quickly disappeared. Grainy malty with some fruitiness in aroma. Flavor is malt and fruity, citric hops, some sweetness towards finish. Thin but clean, way better than I had expected.

Can 500ml (K-Ruokacenter, BB 01/2012)
Clear golden, pale amber color, medium-sized white head. Aroma is harsh malty, woody with underlying syrupy sweetness. Light to medium-bodied. Harsh, woody maltyness with harsh bitterness in the finish. Decent palate, but finishes to quite metallic and watery flavor with subdued hoppyness. I had read decent comments about this, but at least this can had very industrial taste.

Pours a pale, yellow colour with a frothy head. Sweet aroma with notes of glue and grass. Thin and watery mouth feel. Flavour is paper, grass and crayons. Bitter, metallic finish. Definitely cheap, but not very thrilling.

33 cl can, thanks to rlgk BB March 2012, sampled on April 1, 2011Clear pale straw yellow color, small white head. Vegetable, sugary, cardboard, pretty damn disgussting scent. Thin, sugary, vegetable, boring, sweet taste. Thin mouthfeel, very low bitterness.I can see myself drinking this ice cold, in a hot sauna, if I don’t have to pay for it and not think about it. Damn this one was pretty damn bad, the thought "why" comes to mind when thinking about brewing and marketing this crap.That being said, I’m sure this will sell like hell in the land of cheap lager drinking Sweden :(

Much more pine on the nose this time and there seems to be a nice balance between sweet malt and refreshing hops. Overall, a much better experience this time. Previous rating 5/2/5/2/10 = 2.4 Pleasant slightly malty (a bit grainy) nose. Slightly cloudy, light amber colour. The taste is gently malty to start with but it grows to a nutty/caramel note on the end. A bit full for a lager, maybe more like an amber ale. Fairly chunky but doesn’t clean as well as expected on the end.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma has strong notes of hops primarily lending it flowery notes, but also lighter notes of dust and citrus fruits, combined with a note of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, dusty hops, and caramel, leading to a dry finish. The body is light.
