Pours almost clear, medium gold, with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma is sweet grain malt. Taste is lightly fruity, grainy...a little stale.... soft, smooth... Slight bitterness. Plain.

Pours beautifully. Wet paper aroma, wet paper taste. This pale lager also has a nice potatoe touch to it. Quickly disappearing wet cardboard aftertaste, with notes of lime.

Pale golden color, medium white head. Light malty aroma with hint of hops. Sweet sour malty taste with a bit unpleasant bitterness of grassy hops in finish. Watery body and soft carbonation. Drinkable, but boring.

Bottle. Golden, but transparent in the glass. Faint aroma of sour hops, cat piss, vinegary. Very little carbonation- head disappeared in seconds. But not as bad as all that in the mouth. Smooth, not as watery as some, but ultimately unfulfilling.

The generic, grainy, mainstream pisswater lager aroma coupled with the bold (and almost certainly untrue) proclamation that this is Austria’s finest beer had me expecting the worst. But actually this isn’t too bad, at all. But like all beers of this ilk, it becomes undrinkable as it warms up. Also, now and then there was a slight feeling of biting on tin-foil in the finish.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clear golden with a frothy white head. Grain and som floral hops (weak aroma). Tase is bland, sweet at first and then a mild bitterness kicks in.

0,5l can. It has golden color, aroma is some malts. Taste is hops and malts. Overall, it is a good and refreshing lager, not so watery as many others.

Full and heavy like drunking bread. Grainy and malty, but unpleasantly at the end. Pours a light gold.

330ml bottle. Clear gold body with a white head. Malty and grainy, with an unpleasant dry bitter ending. Not my kind of beer.

Canette 500ml. De couleur dorée pâle et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés, léger de houblon floral avec quelques notes herbeuses et de légumes bouillis. Plutôt mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes huileuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés et très légèrement croustillants avec de très faibles de traces de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des notes de pain ainsi que quelques traces de miel et de maïs puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux aux notes florales. Post-goût court-moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec des notes herbeuses.
