Tap at BT. Pours a clear medium golden with a thin white head somewhat lasting. Aroma is mostly clean light doughy yeast, light biscuit, some floral hoppy notes and light esters. Flavor is lightly corny and cracker malts, toast, light yeast and light citrus and earthy floral hops- clean finish.

Pours gold with a clingy white, but small, head. Aroma seems grassy. Flavor is quite grassy. A god, substantial "light" ale. It is nobly bitter.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms SoFo, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, small but persistant head. Fruity nose with plenty of hay. Fairly light bodied with chewy mouthfeel. Flavours of ripe fruit, crystam lat and hay. Balaned bitterness. A pleasant easy going beer!

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009. Deep golden color. Sweet perfumed aroma with hay or malt husk and good fresh maltiness. Malty, hayish and honeyish flavor with low bitterness. Smooth palate. Tasty easy drinking beer with good maltiness.

Draught at The Crows Nest. Straw yellow with a medium creamy white head with some clingy lace. The aroma is predictably understated, with spicy, woody hops and cracked grain maltiness with a little bread underneath. The flavor is clean and dry with some noble hop spice and medium-light bitterness in the finish. Pleasantly light and bready malt that gives a touch of sweetness and body. Hint of citrus, but not very fruity overall. Light bodied with crisp carbonation and a very clean feel. Just a really solid and drinkable blond with the perfect balance of malt and hop flavors. Nothing to impressive overall, but well executed and seems somewhat inspired. I like their take on blonde ale.

Golden amber color, big cloudy off-white head. A bit metallic, lemony, pale malty aroma, some hard grassy hops too. Pale malty with some caramel and light hops, a bit bready. Boring.
