3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 kmweaver (3025) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - OCT 28, 2007
500mL bottle, courtesy of omhper. Thanks, Per! Pours a bright, clear, medium golden color; fluffy white head with decent retention and lacing. Pleasant amounts of grapes and minerals and sugar in the aroma; more generous than most basic lagers. Medium mouthfeel: good density (not watery; not viscous or syrupy in the slightest); very sessionable lager, with a lot of sugars and citrus upfront, mildly tart; bready and doughy notes appear at mid-palate; soft and very enjoyable. Very toasty and doughy finish; pleasant with the slightest hint of dryness. I could drink a ton of this.

UPDATED: NOV 1, 2007 On-Tap at Delirium Café, Gothenburg.
Golden color with a white head. Aroma of herbal and floral hops, spices, citrus, some caramel and earth. Something strange and a bit unpleasant with the aroma that I don´t like. The taste is better with hops, citrus, bread, saltiness, sourness,some light sweet malt. Bitter finish.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Slayer85 (862) - Firenze, ITALY - OCT 13, 2007
Bottled. A lighlty hazy golden beer with a medium sized and persistent white head. Not powerful but nice aroma of citric fruits. The flavour is very hoppy with citrusy notes from tthe American hops and the maltiness is good enough to balance the taste. Quite dry, medium body and long bitter finish. I am well impressed.

50cl bottle from systembolaget. Beautiful sparkling gold with a thin white head. Has a pronounced herbal and floral hop aroma with a litle dough. Medium and very smooth body. Flavor is dominated by spicey hops. Malt profile is pretty low. Long bitter finish. Very enjoyable and uncommon for a lager. Almost tastes like an APA to be honest, with so much more emphasis placed on hops than on malt. very refreshing and different from most other swedish lagers. I cant wait to try Heaven next...
