330 ml bottle. 1467-03. BB 20/05/13. (Systembolaget) Arjeplog, Sweden.
Clear golden colour with small frothy white head.
Mild sweetness, mild maltiness and mild floral hops in aroma.
Flavour is pretty much the same. Mild bitterness. Not as useless as I thought.

Orange fruity hints in a modest flavour character on a malty backbone. Notes of sour malts to the ending. Crisp and soft in the mouth. Ok, without leaving any lasting impressions.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
33 cl bottle from Systembolaget, BB 16.10.12, sampled on June 22, 2012
Clear golden to amber color, big lasting off-white head. Subtle, sweet, malty scent. Malty, herbal, sweet, fresh, mineral taste. Some hops in there. It’s rather nice and refreshing actually, I had my negative thoughts when openign it, but no, it actually delivers well over what I anticipated, based on the breweries earlier releases I guess... Medium to slightly below medium mouthfeel, crisp, clean, medium low herbal bitterness.
This can be a very nice summer beer when wanting something for a session in the garden or after mowing the lawn. Not bad, not bad at all.
A surpring hint of ripe banana in the aftertaste, gives way to a faint lasting bitterness after.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle at home in London (picked up in Stockholm). Pours a rich gold with a small, creamy white head. Nose holds a bit of toasted cereal. Light to medium sweet flavor, plenty more toasted cereal and dough, some toasty-grassy bitterness, very faint hints of metal. Light bodied with average to high carbonation. Pretty crisp to finish, some more toasty cereal and almost burnt grass, and a bit of rusty metal or copper, which isn’t too cool. Yeah, there’s a lingering rusty note that doesn’t thrill. Also some surprisingly abrasive bitterness. A good start but a mediocre finish.
