KM (131), Tromsø, Norway Apr 14, 2008 Bottle. Pale brown body, white frothy head. Light malty aromaand a tad fruity. Medium malty flavour. Some fruitiness. Pleasant carbonation. Pretty complex for a pale lager. Light bitter finish. (Ånn, 19.03.08) Egon (241), Gothenburg, Sweden Feb 16, 2008 Bottle. Amber with white head. Floral and rubbery notes. Hay, metall and hops. Dry smoke. thewolf (2881), Kolding, Denmark Oct 17, 2007 Bottle, bought @ Systembolaget, Strömstad. Pours a very bubbly pale amber with a big bubbly off white head. Aroma has loads of complexity - some roasted, some smoke, some dirt and a citric hoppyness. Flavour is surprisingly smoky or more likely ashy. A bit metallic as well. A powerful dose of citric bitterness hits me at the end. Well... this is miles ahead of other pale lagers, but still this isn’t as good as it could be. There are maltyness in there that is perhaps meant to disguise off-flavours, but it still isn’t too fantastic. larsga (1950), Oslo, Norway Sep 16, 2007 Big coarseish offwhite shiny head. Reddish coppery body. Harmonic roasty malt aroma with notes of smoke, metal, earth, and hops. Dry smoky earthy taste of peas and malts, beautifully balanced and harmonic. Dry malty finish. Very good! (0.5l bottle from Systembolaget Stockholm.) Kalli (357), Kópavogur, Iceland Jul 30, 2007 Aroma of hops with the slightest whiff of alcohol. Mildly nutty flavour, full in the mouth with some hoppiness in the finish.
