SaintMatty (1213), Tallinn, Estonia Sep 25, 2009 Draught (Stockholm Beer Festival 2009) - Amber in colour. Moderately hoppy aroma with notes of grapefruit and passion fruit. Bitter taste with hops, grapefruit and peach. Ljunkan (381), Karlstad, Sweden Aug 27, 2009 On tap. Pours a golden color with a mediumzised white head. Aroma is of citrusy hops, malt, some light butterchotch. Flavour is citrusy and grassy, with some nice balancing malt. Medium bitterness. Body is medium, carbonation is rather average. A nice lager. Beer2000 (1778), Kristiansand, Norway Oct 21, 2008 500ml Bottle. Golden body with a dense white head. Volatile aroma of malt, hay and hops. Flavor is light and refreshing of grass and hops. This is a really nice, uncomplicated and well balanced hoppy lager. Kalli (474), Falun, Sweden Sep 14, 2008 Nice colour, bubbly head and fair lacing for this lager. The aroma echoes German pilsener with a bit of citrus as a bonus and some graininess detracting.
The flavour is grainy as well but the hops lift it up with oily citrus that’s more bitter than I expected and very nice.
Reminds quite a bit of Ölvisholt’s Skjálfti which amuses me a bit as I have maintained that Skjálfti reminds me of Swedish craft lagers. Joakgust (321), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 29, 2008 Golden colored beer with a medium sized white head. The aroma is flowery and quite malty with notes of grass and cascade. Flavor is malty and pretty hoppy. Notes of citrus and very clean. Good freshness! Jonte (814), Gothenburg, Sweden May 18, 2008 Updated: Jan 7, 2009On-tap at Bishops Arms, Avenyn, Gothenburg. Golden color with a fluffy white head. Very hoppy aroma, cascade hops, citrus, herbs, a bit sourish, and some malt sweetness in the background. The taste is bitter, hoppy and refreshing with notes of citrus, grapefruit, grass, a bit sourish, herbs and some sweet frutiness. Very hoppy for a swedish lager. Better on-tap then the bottle I tried last year. mybestfriend (262), Gothenburg, Sweden Mar 11, 2008 Bottle. Golden colour. Very refreshing on the nose - hops and citrus. Flavour is (cascade) hoppy - a good amount of grape fruity bitterness. The finish has a long lasting bitterness. joss (3645), Garching b. München, Germany Feb 9, 2008 Citrus, pine & grass hop nose.
Pale golden.
Hayish malt base, big hoppy, but very very good balance.
Light to medium body.
