Bottle. Amber with white head. Fruity aroma. Taste is also fruity with malt and hops in the end. Warming finish. Quite drinkable but nothing special.

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. Not amazing but a good example of the style and a pleasure to drink.

Bottle. Pours a clear, golden body under a small off-white head. Fruity aroma with banana and citrus dominating. Some spicy notes. Sweet, slightly caramelish flavor with some spices and wheat. Banana and citrus too. Medium body. Herbal bitterness in the finish. Quite nice and easy to drink, but far from outstanding. Hides the alcohol very well. Rating: 6-3-6-3-13-3.1. Old rating left untouched. (080905)

Bottle, 33cl. (RBNAG 07) Clear, golden beer with a low, white head. Slightly weak nose, mostly grassy, wheaty and malty. Sweet, malty flavor, some grassy flavors and a touch of bitterness. Medium body. Long finish. A nice and quaffable biere de garde. (071103)

(Bottle) Pours golden. The aroma is fruity, light floral and a bit spicy. Undertones of apples, apricots, incense, dry herbs and honey. Bit yeasty and light alcohol warmth is present. The flavour is of yeast, bready malt and fruits. Citrusy and herb like undertones. Light sweet and light bitter. Sweet fruity finish with some apricots, incense, yeast and bread. Round mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Quite ok.

Nice amber pour. Hay-like aroma with a hint of mustyness. Flavor’s ok, but nothing to write home about.

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.
