Grebbestad Lager

Brewed by Grebbestad Bryggeri
Style: Pale Lager
Grebbestad, Sweden

Bottled:
Pours clear, dark golden with a firm head. Aroma has fat malt, white bread and some flowery hops. Sweet and malty flavour with notes of hazel nuts and grassy bitterness.

Bottle from ssytembolaget. Dark gold, big lazy bubbles. Malt, sweet fruit - apricots, a hint of grapefruit in the finish. OK, but on the sweet side, and the body is a bit heavy, not as refreshing as this type of beer should be.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Deep golden colored, brilliant clarity. A firm offwhite one-finger head on top. A well prononced malt aroma. A mild grassy bitterness and some nut and fruit notes. Quite flavorful for a pale lager, a good malt body with a gentle, earthy and light grassy hop bitterness. Well-bodied. Lively mouthfeel. Finishes on the malty side. A pleasant surprise.

Rätt komplex i texturen för att vara en lager. En organisk känsla vilar lätt över upplevelsen. Dessvärre är smakerna alldeles för utspädda. Inget riv, inget som lämnar avtryck.

330 ml bottle. It poured a clear golden liquid with a small foam and a little lacing. It had a strong (compared to other lagers during the test) smell of malt and hops. It had a smooth taste with a low-medium bitterness. Noticable hops and malt taste with some bread in the background. Very nice lager.

Bottle. Way too sweet. I’dont like the taste of rotten vegtables spiced with some smoke either.

(Bottle) Pours clear golden with a white head. The aroma holds light sweet and butter-like toasted barley alongside hints of crisp bread. In addition, incense, mineral, light grass and maybe some mild herbs in the background. The flavour is light sweet, light bitter and light acidic. The mouthfeel is clean but maybe just a bit too watery with a light sting of citrus acid on the palate. The aftertaste is enjoyable with a good balance between the toasted malt, straw and the light grassy hops. Light bodied.

Bottle, 33cl - Golden colored beer with a white head. Aroma is weak and malty sweet with notes of straw. Flavor is slightly bitter with disturbing notes of unfermented yeast. Not very good. Was this one infected??
