Serve in Lager glass

It poured a clear dark golden-orange liquid with a medium sized foam that left some lacing on the side of the glas. It had a scent of grassy hops, malt and bread, with a hint of caramell but it wasn’t very sweet. When I tasted it, it was very nice and smooth and had a taste of grassy hops, bread, malt and a hint of caramel. The bitterness was low to medium and a very nice lager.

Really nice beer with the hops going on and a rusty-malty finish that lasts very long. A very good lager, if not the best in it’s price range.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Unpasteurised. ABV is 5.1%. Golden colour, big white head. Moderate carbonation in the glass. Fairly strong sweetish aroma, notes of grass and maize. The flavour is sweet but also well hopped, somewhat alcoholic, appears to be stronger than its fairly moderate ABV. Better than Swedish industrial lagers in the same class (doesn’t take much, really), but this is not a beer I’ll buy again. Jämtlands have better beers than this one.

Had a glass of this at Akkurat bar in Stockholm. Served with a big, frothy, foamy, almost creamy off-white head and good lace. Color was that of polished brass. Aroma was malty, hoppy, and a hint of sulphur. Real nice flavor. Sulphur disappeared right away. Great balance between bitter and sweet and hop/malt. A tad salty. Good body and carbonation. Great for quaffing. Good bitter sweet finish.

Bottle. Well balanced malty/bready/hoppy beer. Well made and refreshing but not that special nor good.

This beer has a very hoppy and citrusy aroma. The flavor is also very hoppy with a good bitter finish.

Aroma of citrus and hops. Taste of hops, malt a tad bitter with some citrus notes. Notes of spices and fruits. A good beer.

Looks like light lager but taste is different story. Nice citrus feeling and some hops and bitter ending taste. So, pretty much everything is here what I like.
