Bottle at Nya Tröls, Malmö
Beautiful amber coil, bright; the head is small. It has a generic hop aroma, with a mild earthy touch. The body is quite weak and the mouthfeel dry; dark toffee flavor, with a strong but rather purposeless bitterness. Easy, but not bad.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass compliments of cavie. Pours clear gold with small white head. Light honey/wheat aroma, some lacing, light carbonation, and medium body. Taste is smooth wheat and honey. Underrated, very drinkable, and would be great on a hot summer day.

Clear amber/orange body that produces an average-sized white head. Fragrant floral citrus hop aroma. Moderately bitter flavor. Not a bad IPA, and certainly a find if you happen to be in Saint John’s!

A brilliantly clear light gold body that forms an average-sized white head that quickly dissipates. Very light honey malt aroma. Lightly sweet with a touch of wheat dryness in the finish. Spritzy and light bodied.

The head is mostly a thin scum over this orange bodied brew. Pleasant mango aroma. Very fruity. The mango and the hops don’t mix well in my opinion. Either this needs to leave out the mango and go Pale Ale or lower the hopping rate and make it a fantastic fruit beer. Subsequent swallows result in the hops being less noticeable. Amply carbonated.

12 oz bottle was a gift from a buddy on BA. Slightly hazy clear golden color with a small, fizzy white head. Aroma of yeast, fruit citrus, coriander, wheat and notes of malt. Spicy sweetish flavor with some malt, fruity notes, hints of tart citrus, yeast and a drier, lightly bitter finish with hoppy hints. light-bodied. Quite enjoyable and easy-drinking. It is a bit below average but... the ratings are really harsh in my option.
