UPDATED: MAY 17, 2013 Bottle at home. Clear golden amber with a nice steady slight yellowed puffy head that leaves nice lacings. Aroma: Straw, butterscotch, flowers, citrus, grass. Both classy and modern at the same time. Taste: Sweet malty with bread and some buttery toffee, flowers, tropic citrus, straw and grass. Medium to lighter bodied, soft but still slight crispy carbonation, soft texture. Very nice modern lager that still manages to feel classy and rounded. Very balanced. 5/14/2011 3:27:21 PM Tap at Akkurat. Clear golden yellow with a short off white head leaving some traces of lace. Aroma is resiny and perfumy flowery with zesty citrus. And faint soft biscuity malts. Taste is citrusy and perfumy piney hoppy with light light maltiness with notes of toast, cookie and straw. Caramel and resin in the aftertaste. Medium to light body with small swhirly bubbles. Crisp and refreshing but maybe the hype overtook it.

Draft@Akkurat Stockholm: Clear yellow colour, big head. Aroma is dominated of fruits,dust,sweet maltynes,caramelly. Flavor was a little bomb of fruits,flowers,malts and vanilla. Medium body,long fruity finish Well done!

Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pours clear gold, highly effervescent with a large, fluffy white head. Lightly toasted malts on the nose with some dry pine and grapefruit. Medium sweet flavor with great dried grapefruit character, some dry grass, pine, light toasty sugars. Medium in body with average, smooth carbonation. Crisp finish with some toasted grains, more dry pine, light grass, light toasted sugar. Beautiful beer.

On tap at Akkurat, Stockholm on 20th June 2012. Light amber with foamy white head and full lacing. Hoppy and slightly smoky aroma with cheesy notes. Herby, grassy hops abound in-mouth and savoury notes present. Hoppy finish and quite smooth, agreeable mouthfeel. Easy drinking.

Flaska från SB. Klar mörkgyllenfärg, vitt medelhögt skum som bildar ett lock. Doft av färska örter, blombukett, ljus bröd och kåda. Torr, stram typ nordtysk pilsner, örtiga smaker och rejäl gräsig och örtig beska. Stram, ren rak och aromatisk lager som jag tycker var riktigt bra.

Tjockhult Tjinook. on tap at akkurat... Pours a crystal clear medium cider pour with a fluffy pure white head which lingers in for a fair bit... Nice assertive grassy bitter hop nose. Clean without much of the standard grainy blah lager presence. Really nice actually providing a light fruit and tea-like earthy aspect... Flavors follow suit almost to a tee and not worth rehashing except for the fact that the amped hoppy nature is well welcoming. Mostly provides an earthy grassy bitterness which lingers on the palate for a moment before finally dispersing. Nce and clean, medium bodied. Nice, easy drinking. 8/4/8/4/15

Bottle (50 cl) from Systembolaget. Clear amber, medium off-white head. Nice lagerish, slightly sulphury aroma with bready malt and a dose of grape and pine needles. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Dry with medium bitterness. Very tasty and refreshing.

In short: A hoppy (citrusy/piney) golden lager for the American IPA lover. Very good.
How: Tap at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
The look: Clear golden body topped by a small white head.
In long: Nose is rather hoppy with fresh citrus fruits coming out strong. Taste has a very nice clean chewy pale malts, a bit of honey, a bit of caramel, plenty of fresh citrus fruits, freshly picked green pine needles, notes of fresh tobacco leafs. Bitterness is of medium intensity and the finish is very clean. Body is a bit on the oily side and the smooth carbonation seems appropriate. I like the way fruity hops come out in a IPL (India Pale Lager, I just made that up), the fruity hops seem to come out cleaner and brighter than in a ale. Another lovely beer I had in Stockholm, I find the two best things about this city is the great beer selection and all the smoking hot tall blond girls … in that order… :( … fuck you ratebeer for what you’ve done to me.

Draught @ Akkurat, Stockholm. Rated @ 23.5.2011.
Pours a copper colour with a large, frothy head. Aroma of Chinook hops and mild grass. Flavour of pleasant Chinook hops, British malts, citrus and some floral notes. Medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel and a bitter, slightly fruity finish. Highly drinkable and very tasty.

Draught (handbottled, thanks Kike!). Deep ambery golden colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, grassy and floral hops in a nice balance. Flavour is quite much the same and also has a very pleasant malty profile balancing it up to be a real beauty.
