Flaska. Honungsfärgad öl, med kolsyrigt vitt skum. Snart försvinnande. Doftar friskt av apelsin, citron, nektarin och blomster. Samma återkommer i smaken, där apelsinen är väldigt framträdande. Beskan finns där, lite lätt i skuggan. Inte så framträdande, men inte heller dålig. Hade önskat mer kropp i den här ölen dock.

50 cl bottle from Systembolaget, order by bottle selection. Sampled on March 1, 2013.

Hazy golden color, white head. Sweet, malty, butterscotch scent, also red berries. Sweet, red berries, dry, bitter taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium high dry bitterness.

Bottled (thanks rlgk!). Slightly hazy golden colour with not too much head. Aroma is your average pale lager with some fruity and floral notes. Flavour is grainy, fruity and a bit earthy as well. Tastes more like an average small brewery pale lager than APA...

500ml bottle. Pours a cloudy medium straw, with a white head. Hoppy aroma, spicy yeast notes, malt, peas, resin, faint woody notes. Dry, medium body, mid to high bitterness, balanced CO2. Hoppy, yeasty taste, resin, grapefruit peel, malt, peas, faintly phenolic. Overall quite unbalanced, the bitterness is very harsh combined with the yeasty touch. Hop aromas quite nice though, tweak this a bit and we might have something going. (2013-01-22)

Bottle from Systembolaget, e-order in January 2013. My first one from this brewery. A bit hazy golden with a small, creamy white head. Rather sweet with fruit, some marmalade, light berries and grass. Also notes of cake batter. Medium bitterness and body. Nothing sensational but an ok beer.
