This beer is exported to Sweden by Kopparbergs, maybe brewed by them too? Golden color, small creamy head, lace. Fruity and a bit smokey hoppy nose. Some low alcohol rubberness underlying there. Creamy, grassy hoppy, soft palate. Lacks gravity.

Amber coloured, with a quite good white head. Not very long lasting though. Hoppy nose, and flavour as well. Somewhat metallic taste. A little fruityness. Acidic palate. Medium bodied.

Can. The colour is gold with a tint of yellow. The pale beige foam is finger thick with a crater. The foam is nicer than the liquid.

The smell is nice but quite weak. There are some chemical notes of bitter hops and some sourish hints. The carbonation is fresh and refreshing. Maybe it is a little too strong.

The taste is fresh with some fresh hops, some notes of white bread, a few burned notes and some body from the anonymous malt. The taste got an overall chemical feel. The aftertaste got some dry-bitter notes and a pleasant, fruity mild taste.

The really odd thing about this ale was the way it made me dribble. Huh?

Golden colour with notes of copper. Medium-sized white creamy head. Discret aroma of butter, toffee and hops. Thin body but the malty sweet flavour can handle it quite good. The best beer avaiable at my local grocery store.

Golden with a nice head. Aroma is mild, from toffee and almond. Flavor is tofee as well, very good to be this kind of beer.
