"A light and refreshing beer. A surprisingly full mouth-feel with a superior balance of malt and hop, and a rewarding fruit finish."

The aroma is light but perfumated sweet and malty. The color is golden and it has a fine though disappearing head. The flavor is sweet, malty, and rather bitter. This beer is a bit light in the palate - but really good for a 3.8% ABV.

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden, clear beer with a rather high carbonation. The very good aroma-hops spices up a traditional bitter proving that also a low alcohol beer can contain a lot of flavour. Very hoppy. 090504

Deep golden. Flowey aroma. Light bodied, soapy mouthfeel, hints of vanilla. Citrusy and bitter finish. Flavourful and refreshing.

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a lacing white head. Mild spiced hoppy aroma. Flavour is light hoppy and with a mild breadish note. Medium dry and bitter. Light citric and breadish finish. Refreshing and uncomplicated.
