A very nice pilsner with a strong grainy-malty presence. Nicely balanced with lots of hops, but not overpoweringly so. Nice.

I am very happy to have gotten ahold of a golden shower bottle for my collection.Pours a nice hazy orangish/yellow color.Some quickly disipating white head.Flavor is sweet/caramel/and citrus with a mild burn on the way down. An excellent expierience.

pours a dehydrated piss color with a decent head that goes down with a quickness. notes of honey although its not sweet in aroma and nice noble hop grassy. like a pils on crack. flavor is likewise, enjoyble and not as strong as the abv would suggest. nice i like the fresh grass and hey, its lawnmower beer if you have a small lawn and have to get the job done quick. i wish they kept the old name

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear dark golden/orange colour with a small white head. Fresh noble grassy hops, minerals with fruity undertones of apricots. Medium to full-bodied with notes of apricots, tangerine, minerals and grassy elegant hops. Gives an extremely well-balanced impression. Long finish of grassy and mineraly hops with fruity undertones of yellow fruit. Much better than Samuel Adams version IMO.
