Biggest problem is the appearance, not nearly enough head. Perhaps I refrigerated it a tad too long. The beer has a nice delicate sweetness with banana and yeasty flavors. The sweetness doesn’t linger too long before it’s replaced by just the slightest suggestion of hop bitterness in the aftertaste. I’m glad the brewers did that because any more bitterness would ruin the delicate balance of the malt. ekstedt (2448), Göteborg, Sweden

Aroma sweet and malty with notes of banana, yeast, and alcohol coming through. Smooth mouthfeel, but a cloying, unbalanced alcoholic sweetness lingers in the finish. eyesandsmiles (179), Mission Viejo, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Feb 3, 2007 A big let down as far as I was concerned. tastes very similar to other pale lagers and takes little advantage of its alcohol content. VikingHammer (363), Lynnfield, Massachusetts, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 24, 2007 Bottled(750ml). -Clear yellow coloured, huge airy white head. Nice malty, yeasty and hoppy aroma with strong lemon and orange notes and few spicy hints. Also few nice warming alcohol touches but why is this beer in Jackson’s 500 World Beers I really don’t know.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 16, 2007 Pale yellow transparant body with a large head and mediocre lacing. Bland aroma, reminded me of crappy pilsners and other cheap pale lagers. Hardly any hops - lots of generic malt though. The taste was light, malty and somewhat dry. Alcohol wasn’t really noticable and stayed on the background. Very thin & watery mouthfeel. Boring brew.
