UPDATED: NOV 17, 2009 Bottle. Clear golden to amber color with a mediumsized white head. Aroma of flowers, citrus and some bready malt. Flavour is quite malty with some light hoppy citrus notes and a medium bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel, body is medium, carbonation is soft. A nice beer with good thirst quenching abilities - probably a good choice when you want something as far away from complex as possible, but still with some taste.

Bottle. Dark golden body, small white head. Nose is caramel, grains and hints of dark malts, lager yeast and grass. Taste is caramel, burnt sugars, grains and crisp, grassy hops. Hints of diacetyl which don’t really put the beer to shame at all. Fresh and drinkable. A very nice premium lager, bordering on a vienna or a slightly darker lager style.

Bottled. Pours hazy copper with a big white head. Smells bread malty and boiled vegetables. Tastes dry bitter malty with a similar finish.

Colour towards amber, decent head. Some butterscotch in the aroma. Full malty body, reasonably bitter. Traditional after ski beer, one of the best.

500 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget and consumed on December 13. Pours pale amber with a white head that leaves some lacing while dissipating. Smell is malty sweet with butterscotch, caramel, bread and some orange zest. Taste is slightly sweet and rather bitter with butterscotch, lemon zest, orange zest and some resin. Finish is rather dry and rather bitter with hints of bread. Quite drinkable.

Bottle from Systembolaget. At home. November 19th, 2011.
Pours amber orange with a honey coloured airy head. Fruity and slightly spicy hop notes in the aroma together with a sweet caramel like maltiness. The body is rich with a soft carbonation. A good amount of bitterness in the taste together with flavours of flowers, grass and caramel. A well balanced lager that is really rich in taste - Nice!

ett mysterium att jag aldrig druckit Bärnsten lager när Hell är en favorit och Jämtlands klass är hög och jämn. Den känns väldigt engelskorienterad. Blommig, fruktig och lätt tvålig humle, medelsöt maltkropp med lite karamell, mandel, mineraler. Bra beska, bra balans. Skulle ta den för en bra engelsk pale ale vid blindtest . Riktigt god och då var min flaska ändå långt ifrån färsk.

Bottle 50cl. A clear orange-amber colour with a medium high, off-white head. An aroma of malt, fruit, grain and caramel. The taste is sweet and medium bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a long light bitter finish.
