Standard swedish 3.5% lager. Low bitterness, couldn’t really taste anything hop-like. Resembles Budwiesser in its bleak fashion. One of those beers that get better the colder they are served.

Yellow with a quite ok white head. Aroma is a bit grassy. Quite malty flavorwith some metal notes in the finish. A bit sweetish, but not too bad considering it is a 3.5.

Bottle. Metallic aroma. Pale golden colour. Stable, rocky head. Watery flavour with a hint of hops. The aftertaste is bready.

(Bottled, BBE 03/2006) Paleish golden color with a small, mostly fading head with some lace. Initially has some German-style, grassy-honeyish hops and butter, but they fade quickly into slightly plasticky and stuffy aroma with a hint of sweetness remaining. Quite boring flavor with only faint hints of sweet fruitiness and grassy hops. Not offensive, though. Light-bodied, near-watery, carbonated palate. A decent thirst-quencher, but doesn’t offer much tastewise. This is the first bottle I’ve ever seen with an integrated bottle opener in the bottom - what a nice idea, although I didn’t try it!:)

Bottled. Golden colour, brief head. Fruity and light bodied. Mellow, near this mouthfeel. Very low hop rate and not much malt character. Finishes with a hint of boiled vegetables.
