On tap at 16 Tun. Pours gold yellow with lots of fucking glitter. Lemon juice, some synthetic lime, a bready doughy finish. Medium body. It's a stupid gimmick, which I have no problem with, but it's important not to pair your stupid gimmick with a shitty beer. A messy poorly made kettle sour which shines when it pours which is kinda cool I guess if you're four years old.

Can from Systembolaget. Pale yellow with a loose, frothy, white head. Grassy, floral with a light gummy bitterness. Very nice!

Tap at Smiths Queenstown. Clear golden with off white head. Massive dank weedy hops, some blue cheese, onions, strong tropical fruits, light caramel malts, soft toasty. Medium sweet and over medium bitter. Over medium bodied. There’s so much dank hops here, crazy. Super hop juice kick, lovely.

330ml can picked up at Systembolaget PK-Huset. Lacing rings from a firm white head, misty golden body. Fresh citrus hops on the nose. Moderate taste profile of juicy malts and lemony hops, vague hints of citrus peels to the finish. Soft in the mouth. Drinks very well. Summer feel. (Hotel room, Stockholm 29.07.2018).

33 cl can purchased at Systembolaget. Slightly hazy golden colour with a creamy white head. Fruity aroma with earthy spicy notes, citrus, peppers, tropical impressions. Taste is bitter. Dry fruity finish. Lovely Pilsner.

Can from Systembolaget. This is a really decent pilsner, Maybe I etched the points one highger unfairly but the old NZ hops provide a great bitterness to the pilsner that suits my tastes more than the rougher bitterness often found in pilsners.
