Bottle from a local supermarket in Vårgårda, Sweden. Amber with a small offwhite head. Nice aroma that first brings notes of toffe and then turns hoppy. Some toffe and malt in the flavor and then the hope comes through. This is so much better than almost all the other beers sold in swedish supermarkets.

660 ml bottle from a Gothenburg grocery store. Clear light brown color, medium size white head. Mix of sour malty and a bit fresh hoppy scent. Medium mouthfeel and high bitterness. Hoppy taste and bitter after taste. More than ok for a beer purchased in a regular Swedish store.

Bottled, 660 ml, 3.4 abv. It is a sad fact indeed that this is one of the few good beers available in Swedish supermarkets.

(Bottled) Colour is dark amber, brownish, with firm off-white head. Nose is malty, rather hoppy, with hints of toffee and caramel. Taste is slightly roasted, with hints of butterscotch, toffee, chocolate and a nice creamy and hoppy finish. Fresh hoppy bitterness. Medium body, slightly creamy texture. Nice and tasty indeed for such a low abv, and a very nice surprise found in a Swedish supermarket.

Bottled. Amber, fine beige head. Some toffee and chocolate to find in this fres, hoppy beer. Medium bitterness. Very good beer, since it can be found in supermarkets.

Bottled. Amber colour, clear, rich head. Inviting honeyish flowery hop aroma. Dry with very light body and a wealth of aromatic resiny hops. Crisp mouthfeel. Despite it’s very low gravity it doesn’t feel thin. Medium bitterness. Pretty much the best beer you can get in Swedish supermarkets as beers above 3.5% aren’t sold there.

Bottle Amber coloured with dense head. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Long, grassy hop bitterness. A bit on the thin side but a good session beer.

Bottled. Amber colour. Nice grassy, hoppy aroma along with fruits and soil. Surprisingly malty at this low abv-level, also the body is a nice surprise. Nicely caramelly but the hop flavour, which is citrusy, as well as the bitterness play first violin. Amazing beer, considering it’s only 3,4!
