Clear dark gold. Thin, foamy white head. Steady carbonation. Mix of toasty sweet malts and citrus in the aroma. Hints of dry hay as well. Mildly crisp with a grassy/hay base, citric juiciness and a light toasted toffee aftertaste. Gentle bitterness. Light bodied. Clean and smooth. Long aftertaste. Dry as well. Finishes with an increased bitterness and citric peel dryness. Decent.

from beer on the wall beer of the month. Pours copper with very little head. This beer is lightly sweet and malty, very buttery with a small bit of hoppiness!!

Bottle. Light malt and orange aroma. Clear fizzy orange with a small off-white head. Watery grainy malt flavor... like a slightly better than average macro lager. Light carbonated body with a dry finish.

Bottle. Orange, cherry and hay malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet corn/barley malt flavor with hint of hay to finish. First ale I’ve ever had that tastes like a cheap lager (that wasn’t a cream ale).

Highly drinkable clean fresh flavors. Slightly woody clean palette with crisp hop bite. Incredibly balanced ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours a copper color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Sweetish malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty caramel finish with some hoppy hints in the aftertaste.

Not a very memorable beer. Hops tasted flat, almost stale. Touch of sweetness was ok, but overall flat.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café Sveavägen, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of orange, apricots and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with orange, apricots, grainy malt and a touch of floral hops. Medium body, fairly sweet with low bitterness. Decent malt profile, but lacking some hops to give it something extra. Drinkable though.

12 oz. bottle. from the beer of the month club Pours an amber hue with a thin white head. First few sips taste mildly of hops, then becomes sweeter. Slight taste of toffee/malts. Hops return at the finish for some bitterness. Overall a drinkable ale. Looking forward to the next bottle.
