Bottled (thanks omhper!). Aroma is bread, saltwater, some yeast and quite big fruityness. Flavour is rather much the same along iwth rather strong spicyness. Mouthdrying palate.

Color pale yellow-gold, with beautiful white and persistent head. The aroma is predominantly floral. Medium body. In mouth it is very floral and slightly of fruit, with a dry end, little bitterness and slightly salty.

Bottle at chris_o’s "smash kook’s granny tasting". Alround rating: Pale honey sweet malt, grainy, quite yeasty, on the sweetside of balanced and alround very boring.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty spicy aroma. Fruity spicy flavor with some hoppy hints and hints of citrus. Has a fruity malty spicy finish.

Pale yellow color, slightly hazy. Enormous white and uneven head that leaves chunky lacings as it settles. Fragile malt aromas, white bread, some yeast, faint herbal notes, lemon and some grass in the nose. The alcohol is noticeable. A weak, boring and uneven smell. The taste has a thin malty background, some bready notes and a faint note of peach. Rather sweet. Some grassy hops and faint hop resins. Lemon and herbs. The finish is short, mildly bitter and is dominated by an almost boozy phenolic taste of alcohol. The taste is not pleasant at all - boring, uneven and unidimensional. The taste of alcohol is down right unpleasant. Light body at first but as the alcohol develops in the finish it gets oily and quite sticky. This is not god. This was a huge disappointment. I wasn’t expecting much from this one, but still it failed to meet my expectations. Not recommended. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Bottle. A hazy pale golden beer with a medium sized, fizzy, mostly diminishing white head. The aroma is poweful, but not refined and much pleasant. Too sweet, suagary, with fruits notes and light hops. But grainy and alcoholic. The flavour is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. A bit cloying. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, long finish with light to medium bitterness. Industrial and useless.

Medium white head. Paleish yellow body with light carbonation. Fruity earthy metallic aroma with floral papery notes. Dryish mealy fruity metallic taste with floral earthy notes. Light body. Sharpish mealy mouthfeel. Dry earthy perfumy floral metallic aftertaste with papery toffee notes. Not bad, but lacking in subtlety. (0.75l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)
