FatPhil (1960), Espoo, Finland May 5, 2008 500ml bottle (alko)
Clear orange, brief scummy head. Sweet plasticky malt aroma. Powerful, but not particularly detailed, hoppy taste. A bit fizzy, but not too harsh. Doesn’t taste 6%. Good, not great, lager.
Ljunkan (103), Karlstad, Sweden Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Aroma and flavour is both sweet malty and lacks the bitterness I hoped for. Still a drinkable lager, but just nothing I will buy again. I think mine was 6,3%? Not sure though, it hides the alcohol pretty well nonetheless. Ole_R (1109), Oslo, Norway Jun 13, 2008 500ml bottle. Good-looking dense white head. Pure golden color. Semi-dry grainy aroma. Some bread, and a whiff of hayish hops. Nice malt-flavor, quite crisp with a suitable sweetness. A moderate amount of bittering hops. Healthy body. A not very exciting beer, but nicely balanced, and below average for a lager. larsga (2098), Oslo, Norway Jun 9, 2008 Big offwhite uneven lasting head. Deep yellow body. Clean, neutral straw and grass aroma. Sweetish malty fruity taste with grassy notes. Faint roastiness, with traces of butter and alcohol. Clean, mid-bodied. Dry grassy floral aftertaste. Simple, straightforward, and quite good. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.) Todeon (129), Höllviken, Sweden May 8, 2008 Bottle 500ml - Nice orange color. Sweey malty aroma. Taste is a bit hoppy with some malty sweetness. Pretty good lager.
