Red / dark amber color. Interesting aroma, mixing sourness, berries, light glue and citrus fruits aroma; light cellar smell too. Medium-light mouthfeel, some lemon juice flavor, sour but not aggressive, a touch of berries and malt, a bit astringent at the end. Not bad, but something is artificial.

Beautiful amber color. The aroma is light, but the flavor is good, with some caramel, toffee, chocolate and light sweetness. Good.

Dark mahogany color. This one as well has a light aroma, with roasted malt, chocolate, alcohol, very light tobacco leaves and vanilla. Good body strength, round body, with a quite sweet caramel flavor, with notes of chocolate and roasted malt; the alcohol warms the mouth more than expected. The final is well balanced with all the flavor mix, and rhubarb candies, but gets thinner than the front. Very good.

Hazy dark amber color; nice head. Medium aroma, sweet caramel, nutty. Good sweet caramel and malt flavor, correct bitterness. Side to side, less complex than the Munken.

Cloudy amber color; thin creamy head. Delicate malt aroma, lightly cheesy. Full bodied, very good malt flavor, immediately the alcohol fires up the guns, and the bitterness comes in to balance it, with a lot of oils; toffee, parmesan cheese too come to mind. Extremely powerful. Excellent.

Dark brown color; thin creamy head. Light aroma, chocolatey. Smooth mouthfeel, a bit lighter than expected, but with a good mix of chocolate malt, roasted malt and caramel. The final (good and balanced) is a bit dry. Good and easy to drink.

Golden color, big head. Aroma of yeast and the hop cupboard, it smells like a brewery at work. Toffee-styled Golden ale, spiced and robustly hopped, no thrills.

Beautiful hazy copper color; big creamy head. Nice hop aroma, delicate, earthy, with light fruits and resins. Mellow flavor, malty, sweet toffee, with good hopping, very well aromatic, a bit fruity and resiny. Long and strong final. Very well brewed and pleasant.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep 2007) Reddish brown colour with purple notes, brief frothy reddish beige head. Acidic, fruity nose with hints of wild berries (hard to pinpoint the blueberries). Fruity, sourish taste with notes of blueberries (better blueberry character in the taste than in the aroma). A bit thin. Interesting, but to be honest more interesting than impessive.(7/3/6/3/12=3.1) Rerate: (Bottle, 12 Dec 2016) Hazy red colour with dense, pinkish head. Fruity, sourish nose with blueberries, lingonberries, citrus, hay and barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with notes of blueberries, lingonberries, lemon, grass and a tart finish with a good blueberry character. Medium body, quite dry. Has spent some years in the bottle, which seems to have been good for it. Tasty, mellow and well balanced, with a good blueberry character. But hardly as complex as the best Belgian lambics. Quite nice.

Deep red color, not much head. Sour fruity aroma, some horseblanket. This lambic is sweet and soir, like drinking blueberry milk mixed with lambic. Sourness is not as intensive as in the "real thing".

Red, almost purple colour. No head. Sourish aroma with notes of blueberries and cranberries. Sourish blueberry flavour ruined by some odd, nasty off-flavour.

At Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. A black beer with a red shine under a lazing orange-brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of elderberries, roasted malt, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of hard roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate, the hard roasted malt giving it a slight acidity, leading to a dry bitter finish.
