4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden colour, nice perlage. At first, a boring lager aroma, but just after a very nice hop aroma appears, improving every minute.
Very interesting flavor, quite rare for a bottled lager: dry but with a strong body; the first impression reveals the high hopping, only partially balanced by the malt, even of good quality. The palate is strong, far beyond the average, just too bitter in the (maybe a too long infusion), but the aromatic hop is remarkable, and the maltiness doesn’t hide too fast.
I couldn’t stop drinking stuff like this, till now one of the best Scandinavian I had.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very impressive. The cascade (and I’m betting one other kind, but I can’t pinpoint it) hops aroma and flavor are intense (alomost IPAish). This thing also has malt apparent, and is just an all around great beer. If you are a fan of Victory Prima Pil, seek this out.
Thanks Per!
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 20/20
Light copper with decent white head.
Malty aroma with apple and flowey notes.Sweet and fresh with some tones from the Cascade hops. Fruity and complex.
The flavor is big with honey, hops, grapefruits, apricots, mineral and heather.
malty complex falvor with huge hop finish.
One of my absolute favorites.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Flowery soap aroma. Slightly sweet start with a typical Jämtlands spicy finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark amber color, the head is beige, the lace is adequate. Nose malt, sweet, caramel, and slightly floral. The beer begins sweet, the top medium, the finish is hop bitter, dry, lightly acidic, and does have a very long lasting bitter aftertaste, that I like. ’Thanks Per’
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
One of my absolute favorites! Biig and loooong hoppy bitterness.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A very interesting beer. Very light reddish-gold color (very clear, not at all cloudy). Slightly sweet earthy, peaty aroma. The first taste is quite hoppy but it the finish drys out quite well. I wish they would market to the this to the U.S.. The name alone would draw in people to try this lager.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: DEC 10, 2005 Golden, tanned creamy head.
Light herbal/pine hops, a bit hayish.
Relatively light body, malt on the backseat.
Dry bitterhop profile.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Golden coloured big firm head. Big very hopa romatic smell - loads of cascade in here. Medium dry, firm malty body, and very bitter finish. This lager tastes more like an American Pale Ale.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
This one is way too hoppy to be serious. You can have one, that’s it, or you’ll end up smelling like Chanel No5. Not a session beer.
