Draught. Nose is sweet fruit, strawberry primarily with a touch of raspberry. Bright amber. Sweet flavor, touch of hop bitterness balances it out. Very thin, but drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a nice amber with a slight off-white head. Aroma is buttery nut with a slight bit of candy. Very malty upfront, with a tinge of strawberry in the finish. A slight toffee pokes its head in the scene toward the end of the sip. Watery mouthfeel. This could be a fantastic beer with some tweaking, but as it is it’s simply middle-of-the-road.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Nice amber color. Very mild aroma. Some caramel flavor, some sweetness. Too simple.

from a can...crystal clear amber pour with a thin white ring of foam. aromas of brown sugar, brass, grassy hops and light canned pineapple. pale malt flavor with some earthiness, caramel, fruit (maybe berries) and a spicy bite. finishes dry. short lived lingering maltiness and light skunky hops. light bodied with a watery mouth feel.

Nearly clear amber. No real or substantial aroma or flavor. Watery flavor and mouthfeel. Crappy lager smell. Just not very good - can’t say much more than that - nothing special about it at all for me.

Weak aroma, moderate foam on the pour. Taste like a strawberry lager. Good finish and smooth aftertaste.

Thin, transluscent copper with small quickly fading offwhite head. Smell is apple juice and malt. Is that the acetaldehyde or whatever I read about that tastes is similar to green apples? Anyway, some of that, and regular old malt and some tartness and dustiness as well that I’m not too crazy about. Taste is a bit metallic up front. Slightly sweet, but balanced by the hops. Crisp bubbly, average body. Nothing special, but I’ve definitely had worse.
