Copper brown beer with a weak and blond head. Aroma is toffeeish, wooden and slightly aromatic. Taste is biscuity, some toffee and hint of roastiness, enough of bitterness, that is wooden and dry. Quite smooth palate, nice. Some personality can be found, but overally this beer is quite boring. Dry, wooden and smooth beer.

Olut on punertavan ruskea ja niukkavaahtoinen. Tuoksussa on marjoja, karamellia, kahvia ja yrttejä. Maussa taasen on marjoja, hieman kitkerää kahvia ja sitrusta. Puumainen ja katkera ovat myös hyviä sanoja kuvaamaan tämän ruotsalaisen oluen makua. Suutuntuma on hieman ohkaisen puoleinen. Olipahan ihan kiva kertakokeilu tämäkin.

Pours dark amber with a medium tan head. Aroma is roasted malts and some alcohol. Flavor is malts, caramel, alcohol and hops. Nice.

The smell and the taste is sweet, floral hops with hints of caramel malt and coffee. Palatable hop flavor in the aftertaste. Nice!

Bottle, 5.0%. Good refreshing, grassy hop aroma. Clear dark amber/chesnut colour. OK stable tan head. The flavour starts off with a distinct bitterness, has a creamy maltiness and a good aromatic hop flavour like the aroma. Well-balanced.

Två av tre rätt och det är väl okej. Fin beska, bra humlearomer, men väl tunn kropp som inte riktigt håller ihop det.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Slightly mahogany toned, ruby beer with thin but very creamy and long lasting head. Fruity nose has some peaches, strawberries and herbal hops. Dryish maltiness with slightly rye-like roastedness and a hint of coffee beans. Slightly sour and dry finish with ligh bitterness. Light body, slighty thin finish.

Bottle. Clear amber colour with medium creamy white diminishing head Heavy hoppy aroma. Bitter flavor.

Purchased at systembolaget in Uppsala on June 16, 2011. Overall, this was an excellent beer. Pours with an amber color, producing a decent off-white head. The nose is malty, mildly fruity and slightly hoppy: respectable, but nothing earth shattering. The taste starts out a bit sweet – fruity, malty, bready – and finishes mildly bitter. I detected a hint of smoked flavor in the finish. Very good beer, with a bit to be desired in the body and aroma.

Golden brown with small head. Aroma is malty and bready with big caramel, hard toffee and some dried fruits. Some chocolate notes. Medium bodied with a light sweetness. Bonus points for the nice balance.
