Canned. Pours pale golden with a big white head. Smells malty and abit fruity. Tastes malty with a dry bitter finish.

Can from Systembolaget. The can design is a good description of the beer. NOT the name Kung which means King, but the simple design. Cause the beer is about as simple. Standard pale golden body, and a low white quite fizzy head. Mild malty and sweet smell, while the taste has notes of aluminium, malt and a balanced bitterness. Still, really boring

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2012 500ml can from Systembolaget. Clear medium yellow colour with a small white head. Light hoppy aroma, and light sweet taste. Good carbontion

Can. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of malt, butter, fruitiness and floral hops. Flavor is sweet and malty with some grassy notes. Medium body, average carbonation.

Shared can at Sigmunds house. Clear, pale golden with a white head. Honey, toffee and sugar on the nose. Sweet, light bitter and acidic flavors reminiscent of sugar beets. Watery, light bodied and a little sickening in the dry end.

Can. (tested in a blind test) Not a good one this either, some notes of malt and rubber. What can I say?

Can at Sigmund´s summer tasting. Pours clear straw coloured with a small white head. Light grassy aroma. Taste is light bitter with some sweet caramel and light butterscotch. Decent.

500ml Can - Golden with a white head. Farmyard aroma with hints of straw, grain and animal feed. Malty and slightly sweet taste with notes of corn and grain. The bitterness is very faint. Taste is more appealing than the aroma, although that doesn’t say much.
