500ml bottle
4.3% ABV
I tried this beer on April 4, 2008 at “Smokeless Joe’s” in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a dark translucent gold colour with a fluffy white head that quickly died. The aroma was mainly grassy malt, but there was a hoppish hint. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was also a combination of grainy malt, with some bitter hoppiness thrown in for good measure. Definitely a better beer than both the Red Cuillin and the Black Cuillin.

Jun 22, 2008 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.

Jun 20, 2008 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.
