Ruby-amber color; thick creamy head. Some aroma of malt and sugars, light bran. Dryer than other Swedish Christmas, just some light malt, caramel and hop to present. The palate is anyway quite long.

Simple aroma. Very simple beer, but at the end it has a surprising good hop note. Dry.

Re-rate December 2002, bottled: Nut brown. Butterscotchy and fruity nose. Sweet and near full bodied, really malty with notes of plums and pepper. A solid traditional christmas bock with pleasant salty, really bitter finish.
Old (2001) rating: A dark brown christmas bock. Lots of malt, but syrupy sweet. Toffee and plum flavours. Medium bitterness. I usually don't like my lagers this sweet, but in this case I find it OK. (6/3/5/3/12)

Another bland, sub-standard mainstream lager from Åbro. That brewery really sucks!

Pale golden, brief airy head. Sweet and grainy, alcohol is very evident. Not much bitterness. Drinkable, but just.

Pale yellow mainstream lager. Light body, somewhat sweet, not much in the way of hops. Still it is somewhat pleasant, which is certainly something you can't say about all Swedish mainstream lagers.

Pale yellow colour. Neutral aroma. 0.25 seconds of hoppiness then...not much else. Drinkable but boring.

Golden colour. Fluffy head that sinks quickly. Faint maltiness. Late unpleasant bitterness. Crap.

Somewhat sweet, somewhat malty, somewhat bitter. A standard Swedish boring lager.

Pale golden, medium head. Faint hoppy aroma with some citrus. Short, short hop-flavour then......NOTHING! No aftertaste at all!! A truly mediocre beer.
