Canned, 0.50l. Clear pale golden color with medium frothy white head. Aroma of grainy malt, corn or other cooked vegetables and light hops. Taste is typically plain Scandinavian lager-like, grainy with some metallic notes. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Nothing outstanding here...

Can (50 cl) from ICA Kvantum, Munkebäckstoreget, Göteborg, Sweden. Pale golden with medium white head. Hayish, bready, synthetic, and slightly papery. Light in body and quite watery. A bit sweet with low bitterness. Still not ovelry awful.

(Bottle) Golden colour with frothy, brief, white head. Discreet aroma with notes of sweet malt, canned peaches and grain. Hard to find traces of hops. Malty taste with notes of corn, tropical fruit and canned fruit. Sweet malt dominates the palate, faint traces of hops in the distance towards the finish. Thin body. Not very nice, but luckily, it disappears quickly.

Canned) Pours a light golden colour. The aroma is light sour and light sweet with tones of bread/hay, grain/corn and peas. Some metal and some grassy hops in the back ground. The flavour is a bit lemon sourish, some boiled vegetable, grass and a touch a bready malt. Quite dry and well carbonated. Abrupt finish. The mouthfeel is watery and hard. Light bodied. This is a good example of a bad beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head. Discreet, malty nose. Medium body with good, lightly sweet malt accents. Fairly soft mouthfeel. The finish is dry with a vague whiff of hops. For a Swedish 3.5 this is surprisingly good. 191107
