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.

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2005 Bottle The colour is pale copper – with a tone of amber. The hard foam (the amount of foam that builds when you pour the beer into a glass is almost excessive) is medium thick.
The smell is powerful, almost pungent and sour with lots of malt and several types of hops. There are notes of rye bread and leather.
The carbonation is fresh and well balanced.
The taste is at first bittersweet, then a complex bouquet of different malts and hops, there are tones of cucumber, diacetyl and dried leather. For now, I cannot describe the malts and hops involved – I have to rewrite this text at a later time.
The aftertaste is surprisingly soft and mellow for the potent taste, and there are sour flavours of honey and lots of hops.
A helluva beer, as the slogan says? Most definitely.

Best beer I’ve ever tasted. Rich in taste, golden with a light head.

Tried on tap at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden. Probably the best lager I have tried so far. The colour is a nice golden yellow with a thin foam. Medium carbonation that is just right for a lager and the taste is rich and somewhat bitter.

Rated @ Stockholm beer festival. This has been one of my favourite beers for a while. The colour is clear golden with a firm long lasting head with excellent lacings. The beer is totally dominated by the cascade hops, but enough malt is used to bring it to balance. Yummy!

Nice hoppy spicy aroma, light malts. Grapefruit, hop oil, like an IPA. Clear golden amber with creamy white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium-high carbonation. Starts with hoppy fuiy character, light malts. Hoppy bitter finish and after, though rather and refreshing. Very nice beer.

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.

UPDATED: FEB 14, 2005 First I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the poor label - this one deserves better. Perhaps it also should have been given a more attractive name, but I’ll leave that to the marketing department at Jämtlands bryggeri, if there is one. The taste is of a great fruity malt and bread. Nice amber colour.

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.
