Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Beautiful golden color. The aroma, fresh, is very light, with some sugars. Good body structure, warming, a bit malty, but not special.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Blond color. Delicate hoppy aroma (Saaz), very light bread too. A bit more sweetness and less crispy than an original Pilsner, but quite well hopped, and the Saaz leaves some traces all along the final. Good.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Cloudy blond color; creamy head. Light malt, hop and banana aroma, a bit plastic. Medium-thin body, light residual sweetness, light citrus fruits and banana, dry ending, with strange plastic off-flavors.

Nitro keg at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Beautiful red-amber color; creamy head. Sugars aroma, covering the rest, then some hops come to the surface. Smooth mouthfeel, some malt flavor, sweet liquorice traces, correct bitterness. Pleasant.

Nitro keg at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Dark brown color; creamy head (of course). Light aroma, some watery roasted malt flavor, mild, but probably affected by the nitro; there is some dark chocolate malt at the end. Not bad, but without the nitro would be better...
