3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from SWedish Systembolaget.
Amber color, a bit hazy look. Decent white head, fairly long lasting. Sweet and fruity scent, hoppy taste. Good bitterness.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Bottled) Clear, deep golden color with a medium, firm head. Sweetish-malty and caramely, quite vienna-like (with added butter, though) aroma with a touch of metal. Sweetish-honeyish-malty, caramely flavor with butter and hayish hops and moderately high acidity. Light to medium-bodied, slightly metallic palate with high, but decently balanced carbonation. Has a decent, sweetish-malty body, but lacks most of the fine touches that make a beer interesting.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottled. Dark golden colour, small foamy head. Weak sweet malty aroma. Unpleasant sweet malty flavour with hints of vegetables. Quite clean pilsenerish, with no surprises.
2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled (BB 05/2006)
Golden color, small creamy white head. Harsh rubbery nose. Medium-bodied, sweet malty and industrial brew. Quite clean but sweet for oktoberfest.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Fine white head, golden body. Slightly sweet malt aroma with hints of hop and flower. Sweet pilsener flavor. All right but uninteresting.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
An orange beer with a small disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. While the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel as well as hints of alcohol leads to a dry hoppy end.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottled: Light golden coloured. Clear. White small head. Not much going on in this beer for me. Is sweet and malty in nose and flavour with some light bitterness in the end. Is quite thin bodied, and dies quickly on the palate.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
More color than most of Åbro’s beers, and definetley more taste. The malt is noticeable, there is bitterness and a rounded off, hoppy aroma. OK.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden colored with no head. Malty aroma with notes of alcohol. Flavor is slightly sweet and has some spices, maybe fusel. Still surprisingly bland, not anything special compared to Swedish pale lagers. Ends with mild hops. Thin body for 5.4%.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
The colour is golden yellow. The rather large foam builds a hard surface with a small crater.
The smell is mild with a sweet tone and a touch of buttery hops.
The carbonation is quite strong but it fades away quickly.
The overall taste is mild. The first flavour is sweet malt that develops into an increasing bitterness. The aftertaste is an uncomplex but balanced sweet-bitter mix.
A beer that’s very easy to drink, and it works fine with a meal of sausages, potato salad and sauerkraut. An OK oktoberfest-beer
