3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Röd/gyllene färg med ett ljusbeiget skum av små bubblor. Doft av smör, knäck, lätta blommor och även en svagt bränd ton. Smaken följer doften väl. Relativt söt med en lätt besk avslutning. Lätt munkänsla med medel kolsyra. En öl som gör precis det den ska. Ingen smakbomb men måste all öl vara det?
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark amber color, with big creamy head. Good malty aroma, caramel, a bit buttery, and nutty; light cereals too; a wonderful combination actually.
As usual from Sigtuna, it’s quite dry, with dark malts and dry caramel flavor, and a light grainy edge; strong bitterness.
Good but not fantastic, but for sure one very interesting Nordic Easter ale, balanced, with light alcohol.

Lovely copper beer, beige head.
Redcurrants, rich malt, a fair amount of yeast. Aims to be an English bitter, and does not miss the mark. Crisp bitter finish.

Bottle from Systembolaget.
Pours mahogny with a yellowish shortlasting head.
Aroma of floral hops.
Balanced taste of caramell, resin, grass and oranges.
Great with a lower abv brew from a swedish brewery, slightly lighter body and without "easter" in the name would have made this a great spring/summer beer!
