Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

An amber beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is light with notes of the nice maltblend. The flavor is flat but of a good maltblend and slightly bitter - a fine flavor. Clearly above an average beer - but not a super beer.

Bottled at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatn, Stockholm. Clear brownish amber, average head. Crisp cracker-like malt covered in a thin layer of syrup. There’s hay and caramel and ligh salty bitterness. It’s very drinkable, and I can still see why I liked this beer so much 15 years ago - although these days there are much better beers available.

(Bottle 55 cl) Beautiful amber beer with a dense head. Dominated by nutty, caramelish malt, but dry - never sweet. A very pleasant and quaffable brew. 290900

Flavourful, earthy, great balance. Can be skunky due to the clear bottle, but if not, it’s good stuff.

55 cL bottle. Pours clear golden deep amber with a dense off-white head. Light hoppy to malty aroma. Flavour is light fruity and of malt. Medium dry and light herbal bitterness. Towards a mild mouldy note. Medium dry finish with a mild bitterness.
