| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 1, 2008 750ml bottle. Gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of spices, malt and hops. Alcohol evident in flavour along with malt, but then there’s a long bitter finish. Nice lingering taste.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 22, 2007 33cl bottle from systembolaget. Clear golden body with a nice, firm white head and visible carbonation trails. Fruity, citrusy aroma, with some harsh alcoholic notes. Medium and smooth palate with nice lively carbonation. Not too much bitterness, sweet up front leading to a dryer and slightly unpleasant alcoholic finish. Mild hops. I was expecting a lot more from this, but it turned out to be a fruitier and slightly less harsh version of a strong swedish lager; better made for sure, but the hefeweizen went much better with thanksgiving dinner than this did.
