(33 cl) Light yellow hazy colour, white head. Smells of lychees and mandarin oranges. Aroma is citrussy, fruity, some herbal hops as well. Very tasty, especially in view of the low alcohol content. Medium bitter taste, no sweetness. Light body, but perfect texture. Long finish full of hops. Delicious.

330ml bottle pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a 2 finger white head with excellent retention leaving some spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is citrus and grassy hops with some light malts. Taste is mild malt sweetness with a bold citrus and grassy hop bitterness. This is undoubtably the best light beer in the world.

AROMA: citrussy grapefruit-like hops with a bread-like malt in the background APPEARANCE: cloudy blonde with a beautiful fluffy white head TASTE:light sweetness with a big hoppy whammy.Wow this is what a light beer is supposed to taste like--HOPS!! PALATE: very light on the tongue with a lively carbonation OVERALL: I am shocked at the alcohol volume compared to the taste of this beer . wow it is the best light beer I have ever had at 2.9 %, it certainly has the full measure of hops and that light lawnmower beer body. Delicious and refreshing, not in a beer commercial way.(where delicious and refreshing mean tasteless and sex-in-a-canoe- like)

Bottled. The aroma has light citrus, grassy hops. Clear, golden coloured beer with a white head. The taste is quite full for such a light beer. It has grassy and a biut citric hops, a bit malts. Light bodied. Good.

Draft @ Copenhagen Beer Festival 2010. Pours a pale yellow color with whit ehead. Has a fruity malty hoppy floral citrus and grapefruit aroma. Fruity malty hoppy bitter citrus flavor. has a fruity malt hoppy citrus finish.

Cloudy blond color; generous head. Nice aroma of sugar floss, hops, bitter oranges. The body is not weak in an obvious way, but it’s surely very dry; it has a prepotent bitterness, fresh even if not exactly aromatic, almost extreme. Pleasant without excess, and anyway it spotted perfectly its niche. And it’s much more drinkable than the Brewdog Nanny State.

Bottle @ Fairbar. Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma of bready malt, grassy hops, lemon. Taste malt, grassy, citruss. Light body, lively carbonation, refreshing low alcohol summer beer. 130510

This is a good one for low alcohol. The pour is bright golden straw with a white head. Aroma is grassy with a light bread malt. Mostly unnoticeable malt and hop in the taste. Would love to have a bunch of these on a hot summer day because they drink like water.

Unclear golden, large creamy head. Grassy aroma, some citrus, a little yeast. Slim body, low maltiness, hefty hop-muscles. Grassy flavors, a touch of hay. Refreshing. but rather old and dusty. To be drunk young!

Unclear yellow of color with a white head. An aroma of flour, hops and citrus. A flavor of hops, grass, dry and bitter.
