Well, it’s not fair to rate this beer after a Kaggen, but the bottle provided by Per opened by itself…
Hazy golden color; thin persistent head, nice lace and perlage. The aroma of malt hop and yeat smells so much Swedish (more soapy than English). Soft mouthfeel, soft malt taste, a lot of sweet caramel, followed by a bold bitterness, some good hops, a bit metallic; Swedish, if you know what I mean. Ok, it’s similar to a homebrew, but the path is correct.

Beautiful hazy orange color; thin head; this bottle finally has a controlled carbonation. The aroma is not much complex, but the flavor is better, with some good malt and surprisingly a very nice smoked touch; good level of bitterness too, good hops. Pleasant.

Courtesy of Per Samuelsson. The bottle was leaking considerably in my baggage, probably for the high pressure inside, because a couple of days later, when I open it, it’s still well carbonated
Huge head (too much); cloudy golden color; persistent fine perlage. Some malt flavor, but dry; it has a Belgian-like hopping, both the aroma and flavor; some yeast aroma maybe; the final is even spicy (coriander) and correctly bitter. Simple but not bad.

Bottled. Cloudy golden, small head. Buttery malt aroma that carries over into the flavour. Malt sweet with medium body. Wonderful, soft, deep mat character accompanied by some light grassy hops. Finishes with medium bitterness. A very refreshing, excellently made beer, taking an overlooked style to a level that I’ve never encountered before outside of Germany.

Bottled. Hazy deep golden, fairly brief head. Powerful aroma of bitter orange marmelade and yeast with a medicinal touch. Sweet and solidly malty, rather spritzy with interesting esters covered in salt. Full bodied with a wealth of grassy hops leading to a long bitter finish - De Ranke XX Bitter style. A daring, unusual brew.

630ml bottle - thanks to omhper. Sampled during a rating session at Finn’s in Tromsø. Only a white, filmy layer over a slightly unclear, orange body. Zesty and fruity aroma. Taste of tart fruits dominated by lemon with some spicy notes.Yeasty hints towards the end (23.02.2007).

630ml bottle (thanks to omhper). Large, funny label design. Very hazy, dark orange coloured body under a off-white head. Dry-hop aromas. Flavour of ripe orange and pineapple complemented by herbs and dark malts. Roasted and mildly bitter finish (shared at Finn’s, 23.02.2007).

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Lightly hazy reddish golden, small creamy head. Aroma of citrus, aniseed and other spices. Sweet, fruity and, surprisingly, rather smokey. Full bodied with soft mouthfeel. Some almondy yeast character and peppery alcohol. Rather complex. A fun, odd beer.
