650 ml bottle served in a white wine glass. It pours hazy lemonish yellow, off.white sticky head. Aroma is intense pine, dry lemon, bread, funky gym t-shirt. Yeah, the last one wasn't nice. Taste is dry, fizzy, fresh and super bitter. Long-lasting finish with a load of bitterness. Mmm...

650 ml bottle bought at BC Liquorstore Robson, Vancouver. Pours hazy pale yellow, visible big bubbles and w bright bubbly, short-lasting, white head. Aroma is quite low: coriander, citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit), lemongrass, oatmeal. Mouthfeel is super-fizzy, light, tart and crisp, somewhat watery. Bitterless finish, low-lingering. So-so.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy blond colour. They shouldn't use the name Folköl because basically it means watered down beer, but they made an effort to put some quality here. Sharp hops, very resiny, quite piney, stronger also because of the thin body. The mouthfeel is dry, weak, crisp. The only unpleasant note comes from the pithy bitterness in the finish and some metallic character.

Very bright, very yellow body without much carbonation and a rather modest bleached white foamy head. The aroma is a tasty lemon meringue cake, heavy on the meringue, but also lots of sweet lemon. The flavour is a mellow mix of grains and sharp hops with a soft finish. Could be sharper on all levels, but still a very nice new world pilsner.
