500ml bottle (Gallows Bird, Espoo, Oktoberfest 2008)
Pale gold, brief head. Typical thin LA palate. Sweet weetabixy taste, and a bit of cardboard. Decent hoppy bite, but veering towards the artificial and metallic.

Bottled 33cl. It pours a golden beer with a white head. The nose is of breakfast cereals and hops with all the characteristics of a low alcohol beer. Pleasant malty taste with a decent amount of hops. Lightly bitter. Some nice lacework. Quite a bite to this beer. Some breakfast cereals showing up. Good mouthfeel. Hops in the finish accompanied by a hint of cheese. Very drinkable. An excellent low alcohol beer.

clear golden with a smlaa white head. With high expectation after tasting the other low alc. this doesn’t disappoint me. very nice hoppy and grassy flavor an special bonus for low alc. for making it possible to enjoy a nice beer on lunch break. smooth and pleasant.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a slowly collapsing white head. Mild citrusy aroma, light cardboard note too. Dry and mild spiced malt to cardboard flavour. Decent bitterness into a dry finish. Not bad.

Pours straw yellow with white head. Grassy aroma. Flavour is rather nicely hopped and quite bitter. Very drinkable.
