2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
it is a beer full of components that make a good beer. fruit punch flavor and a nice grassy and spicy hop kick. there even is a bit of citrus in there. the malt profile is of a caramel nature and has a genuine sweetness to it. in this day these profiles would be characterized by some as modest or weak. still a refreshing brew with adequate flavors and a nice crisp carbonation.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pale clear color with minimal white head. Light alcohol and malt aroma with very light taste, slightly salty. Overall it is an ok beer, drinkable, but why bother drinking ok beer?
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle:
Smells hoppy and spiced.
Pours a gold yellow beer with a very small white head that almost dispears.
Taste is fresh with slight hints of caramel. Bit hoppy, spicy and very easy drinkable (nothing tastes too strong).
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
330ml dark green bottle from Systembolaget, Kiruna. Decent white head fading to a thin, but steady layer. Light golden body colour. Discreet aroma of noble hops and malts. Rounded taste of malts mixed with distant hints of grassy hops. Notes of herbal bitterness to the finish. Clean, crisp and soft in the mouth (shared with Eva, Tromsø 26.02.2010).
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
33cl bottle. Small white head atop crystal clear straw body. Aroma is medium sweet, grassy, light cereal. Taste is medium sweet, cereal, grassy. Light body, light crispness. This passes the "it’s really not that bad" test. Faint praise perhaps, but with a pale lager, one takes what one can get.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle. Pours a clear, pale yellow with a creamy white head that leaves patchy lace. Aroma is pale malt with hints of light fruit. Taste is grainy with a light citrus quality. Mild grassy hops in the finish along with a touch of sweetness. Feels clean and crisp. Nice drinker, but nothing spectacular.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
500ml can. Looks light and thin and has a strong white head and a honey colour. Malt aromas which is typical of the style. Bland basic flavour and is fairly modest in all aspects.
