Unfiltered. Nice straw colour, gigantic white head, very hazy. From the first sip it is quite yeasty and fruity; to the middle of the bottle all the flavours disappear and the taste becomes very watery and neutral. Good start, weak finish.

Draught: Nice fresh scent and flavor of malt and hops. Refreshing and fresh taste. On the bottle: clearly inferior taste. Probably the first Swedish "micro-brewed" beer I tasted.

gnoff (5004) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - AUG 22, 2006
Draught at "Gamla Stans Bryggeri" in Gamla Stan, Stockholm. Also tried it on bottles. It was a while ago, but the horrible taste still lingers in my memory. It was also strange that they didn’t sell any beer what so ever part from their own, not even on bottles. No wonder the bar wouldn’t stick around... Color was shady light straw with a small white head. Taste was sour and not enjoyable at all, couldn’t really detect any bitterness. This beer is why so many non-beer-knowledgable swedes still thinks "färsköl" is horrible and won’t drink it... I’m glad the place went out of business.

Papsoe (22983) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 28, 2005
(Bottle 50 cl) Classical "Färsköl", hence unpasteurized and unfiltered. Cloudy, pale golden with a thin head. Soft freshness and a marked if not exactly dominating bitterness. 270700

Fresh, tasty and good to the Swedish food. A typical summer beer. Not my style.

A very pale yellow beer. Not clear, with an ok head. Aroma is sweet, was there some soap as well? Quite bitter...
