Can. Almost clear pale gold beer, short white head. Nose is lemon and mandarin. Palate is light and smooth and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, the rice brings a different kind of sweetness that works well here. The Yuzu delivers it's limey grapefruit mandarin thang and that fits very well with the little extra sweetness in this one. Light finish shows a touch of pine. Delightful. I can imagine drinking pints of this on a hot summers night.

Comes the zingy tangy yuzu, lemon peel, lemonade, grassy, leafy, soda water with lemon peel and just a touch of alcohol with a dry, greenish finish. Average body and fine, fizzy carbonation. Easy going zingy lager. Quenching.

Burk. Lättdrucket med ljust bröd och citrus, en lätt kropp och hög (kanske för hög) kolsyra.

Can. Almost clear gold beer with a good white head. Smooth palate for a lager, decent fine carbonation just not as crisp as you might expect. Fluffy malts, fairly sweet. A mild lager tang in the mid. Petit Blanc hops are new to me and they do seem a bit less edgy than most noble hops that are used in lagers. More floral but a soft and sweeter floral. Someone said Elderflower, that's a bit of a stretch for me but I do like the floralness. Light finish. Easy drinking and clean lager, just a bit crisper would have been good.
