Golden colour with a bit of white head. Aroma on the cheesy side. Chewy and malty. Interesting, not too sweet but it is sweet. Smokeless Joes.

Bottle from the sconser lodge on skye, pours gold, crystal clear almost lager like in appearance, head that dissapears nearly completely leaving little islands of foam. nose is floral with hints of corriander. taste is really light with a fizzy mouthfeel. Some spiciness bitter hop finish and a touch of honeyed sweetness.

Bottle (50 cl ) from Systembolaget. Deep clear golden with medium white head. Fruity malt aroma with notes of peaches and herbal hops. Light in body with soft carbonation. Nicely balanced with a long moderate bitterness, but unfortunately also a metallic touch.

clear copper, medium white head. smells like english hops and thats the only positive thing to say. mouthfeel dry and stingy carbonation reminds me of Samarin "medicin". sour and tart. watery and eukalyptus aftertaste. reminds me too much of the mass production lagers like koff or Baltika1 and so on.

500ml bottle, bright amber color, with a white head, wet grainy oat cereal nose, with a humid hay note, some honeyed pale malt aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp sweet toasty malt character, with some fruity notes, some wet cereals, a butterry hint, with a nice flowery hop leafiness, leading towards a toasted, hop bitterness finish.
