Bottled. The 3.5% type. Very light and a bit hazy(?). Large, frothy head with a nice lacing. A sourish perfume-aroma. Too thin and watery with a cereal, metallic and a bit flowery flavour.

Bottled (BB 12/2010, PBF)
Golden color, small white head. Buttery, a bit diacetylic nose, grains, metal in the aroma. Very cardboardish, grassy and harsh. Crap.

Bottled (BB 10/2007)
Pale yellow color, decent white head, lace. Metal, grain, wheaty hops in the aroma. Grassy hoppy, grainy flavor. Bitterish finish. Some rubbery 3.5 % notes, but otherwise quite decent 3½-beer.

Bottle. Clear yellow colour with a white head. Bready malt, some sweetness and hops, maybe some vegetables. The usuall watery, metallic and a bit harsh notes found in most swedish "folköl", but better than many others in this category and way better than the Mariestads Sommarbrygd 3.5 that I had before this one.
