Pours golden with a one finger white head. Aroma of skunky hops. Weak flavor of malt and hops. Better than a macro, but pretty average.

Poured from 500ml can. Nice clear color with head that disappeared sort of quickly. Average aroma, average taste. tasted a little wheaty. Nothing special.

Can 50cl.
Clear light yellow color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, cabbage water, cardboard. Flavor is light sweet and sour malt with a average duration. Body is light, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20081121]

Bottle Pours a pale golden with a white head. Aroma is grass, malts and flowers. Taste is sweet with a touch of hoppiness. Good cabination. Not a bad beer.

Medium very white head doesn’t last. Bright yellow body. Light mealy apple malts aroma with soft drink notes. Dry-sweet apple malts taste with grassy straw notes. Slightly slick mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish papery mealy grassy aftertaste. Not bad, but certainly not exciting, either. Low on bitterness, which is true to type, but hardly an advantage in this beer. (0.5l can, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

This poured a straw color yellow with a white head. Aroma was really sweet malts and grassy. Flavor was much the same, just too overly sweet and watery, but at least nothing terrible.

500 ml can. Pale golden color, white head. Somewhat floral, malty aroma. Malty flavor with a touch of hop bitterness. Light body, medium carbonation. Bit watery in general. Could be a worse pale lager, but doesn’t really have much to recommend it.

Thin light yellow with a very thin white head. Skunky grainy aroma. Taste is toasty grains, pepper, sweet metallic malt.
