bottle, pours light amber, thin off white head. Sweet carmel malt aroma, a light skunk note. Toasted malt in a light body form, slightly sweet, kind of nutty, ending nice and bitter with some remaining crystal malt sweetness, ends really mellow, but it’s nice. Such suprising flavor at 3.4 percent. Very drinkable and a great session beer.

Not too bad at all. Very bland at first, but improved as I drank more. And it cost one pound. I drank this bottle after a Bigfoot. I really can’t think of anything to say. Fruity, sweet, a little bitter, and so on.

Bottle from ICA Supermarket Spara, Våxnäs, Karlstad. Pours a copper color with mediumsized head which fades away to a smaller one, leaving some lacing on the glass. Aroma is fruity with some typical English hops (Fuggles, East Kent Goldings according to the bottle); a bit grassy with notes of flowers and some caramel malts. Flavour is fruity with those English-styled hops, grass, flowers, some light malty caramel notes and very nice bitterness. Palate is a bit thin, pretty lightbodied beer considering the ABV, almost a bit watery. Very drinkable of course, this one is truly a session beer you can have a lot of. I hadn’t tried it since I was 18-19 or so, since this is one of those beer available at supermarkets in Sweden (under 3,5% ABV) and after I turned 20 and was able to purchase "stronger" beers legally, I found no reason to buy anything at supermarkets due to the bad range of beers there. This could be a reason though!

Deep clear golden in colour, thin white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is wheaty, bitter, pale malts, some bread and honey. The flavour is moderately bitter, light sweet at times, grassy and floral hops. Bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, moderate carbonation. Finishes dry, bitter, fairly long.

Not bad, has good flavour. Holds up well for such a low alcohol beer.

500ml bottle from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
Opened on September 30, 2008.
Best before April 13, 2009.

Buona bitter un poco anonima, ma sicuramente non spiacevole, grande beverinità e semplicità per una bevanda da conversazione.

500ml bottle, 24th Dec 08. Reddish amber with a small off-white head. Sweet malt aroma. Sweet at the start of the sip with hops balancing late on. Average palate and weak aftertaste.
