Canned sample at Glendale Golf Club in Winnipeg. Didn’t get to see it, couldn’t smell it ourt of the can. tasted all right, but it was freezing cold, so it is tough to say. Will have to try this from a glass next time

12oz green bottle. Clear golden yellow lager. White foamy head. Nice lacing. Aroma of musty hops. It has a very earthy smell. Flavor is slight pale malts, part chalk. Sharp bitter finish. Lingering hop flavors. Easy drinking if you can pass the bitterness. Light bodied.

50cl can from systembolaget. Rich gold color with white head that mostly dies quickly, with some left. weak aroma with some straw and malt. medium body with a slight syrupy feel. Sweet malt taste with good hop balance that is quite subdued though. Could have a stronger hop presense, but very drinkable.

Draft at the Philly airport - Poured a yellowish amber in color with a medium white head. Aroma was slightly hoppy with a hint of malty sweetness, Flavor was not particularly strong and it was a bit watery. No hint of the malty sweetness... instead it was slightly sour. Mildly bitter finish.

Biggish white head. Yellow body with carbonation. Harmonic grain and cardboard aroma. Straw and malt taste, very mild, with apple notes. Very smooth and clean mouthfeel. Dry aftertaste with hints of grassy hops. Bland, but decent. (0.5l bottle, Korzo pub, Lviv.)

I am a fan of this beer, even though it goes against my usual type. Pours a nice translucent golden yellow, with a foamy head. Flavor is mild, as is the mouthfeel; this is a good beer for a hot summer night outside or at the beach.
