mickmac (405) - Ngunnawal, AUSTRALIA - FEB 3, 2012
Bottle. Clear dark amber body with a large off-white head. Modest carbonation. Aroma-taste-dessert apples, with a dry biscuit biiter finish and an indiscript minerally quality. Light bodied. Complex for a modest strength beer.

suurjuust (264) - Tartu, ESTONIA - JAN 2, 2012
Pale copper, white head. Sour, yeasty nose with vague notes of malts and caramel. Slightly sour maltiness, followed by a surprising amount of hoppy bitterness. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Very thin palate. The hoppiness is pleasant, but the beer as a whole is just too thin. Oh well, it is just 3.4%, so I guess a thin body is to be expected.

Chiswick (137) - Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 21, 2011
dark amber colour, clear liquid, creamy thin even head. aromascape consists of malts with roasted coffee and caramel, escorted by fruit and hops. a slight aroma of tobacco and herbs is present. a basic light bitter wash is followed by gentle sweetness. the body is medium light with a slick texture. a very light standard bitter with a gentle character. unfortunately almost overly safe.

Dazz3 (736) - Hällefors, SWEDEN - NOV 5, 2011
50cl bottle. Pours amber with a small light brown head. Smells honey and cheese malty. Tastes sweet malty with a very bitter finish.

BeerSkull (494) - SWEDEN - NOV 4, 2011
Fresh and clearly sour malt aroma with a hint of sour candy. The taste is aromatic hops with notes of sour candy. Good hop bitterness in the aftertaste. A little thin and watery, but quite OK!

Cunningham (1754) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 30, 2011
UPDATED: FEB 9, 2012 Bottle at Svinesund. Amber colour with an off white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma. Fine hoppy, fruity and caramel flavour. Absolutely the best you can get in a Swedish grocery store!

Mad_Ferret (460) - SWEDEN - OCT 11, 2011
Bottle. Clear copper amber with a bubbly yellowed head that leaves a thick coating in the class. Butterscotch malty and flowery hoppy aroma with honey, orangepeel, dried apricots and biscuits. Taste is slightly sweet with toffee and butterscotch just to get dried out with a good dry bitterness. Orangepeel, apricots and biscuits also in the flavor. Body is on the lighter side and the bubbles are soft and small.

Frovigalning (1320) - Örebro, SWEDEN - OCT 1, 2011
Bottle from the local supermarket in Örebro. It poured a clear golden liquid with a medium sized dirty white head that left a thick curtain of foam on the side of the glas. Smell and taste of pale malts, bread, flowery hops and yeast. Very nice low alcohol beer and should work great with food.
