Bottle from HOTM. Pours a clear copper with small off-white head, minor retention. Aroma is malty, some raisin, light grassiness but not much going on here. Taste again is malty, some toffee, alcohol, grassy resin, decent bitterness but overall not that tasty. Medium bodied, slightly cloying. Surprisingly average and harsh tasting, I've had some good lager beers the brewery but this is the worst by a long way.

500ml can. Pours a harvest clear gold, massive white head. Malts, caramel, grass and resin on the nose. Taste is malts, quite full and smooth on the palate, with butter and grass notes, some booze and resin, metallic notes though the head which is difficult to avoid when its so big, semi-sweet. Low carbonation on the palate. A curious one.

330ml bottle at 4.4%. Dark brown with beige head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma resembles something like a chocolate brioche being sweet and bready before more toasted notes come to the fore. Taste is chocolate, bread, sweet and toasty malts, nuts, tiny smoke element in finish. Body is fairly light but not overly so for a sub 5% lager. I like it.

Update. New can one year later.
50 cl can this time.
Clean golden, white head. Crisp, grassy hops, grainy malts, nice bitterness. Way better. Quaffable.
02.12.2024: 50cl bottle from Alko. Poured clear and golden in color. Noticed some black floatees in the glass, at the bottom of the bottle lots of black mouldy slimey looking blobs. Will rerate later if getting a decent bottle. Didn´t really feel like drinking more than a sip of the beer after that.

Can from HOTM. It pours clear deep/dark brown with a medium fluffy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toffee/caramel, toasty malts, toasted brown bread, malt loaf, molasses, nut and some spice. The taste is drying, bitter - sweet, toasted nut, woody, coffee beans, toasty, brown bread, charred malt, burnt toast, cacao nibs and some earthiness with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent dark lagerbier.
