Snabbt avtagande skum. Kornig aroma, citrus, frisk. Vattnig och tunn "palate". Smaken domineras av citrus.

330 ml bottle. Aroma malty with notes of citrus and orange. Flavor is sweet but not very interesting.

330ml bottle. Sweet malts, orange peel, raisin and citrus. Brief bitter finish. Medium carbonation.

330 ml plastic bottle. LJ 06 14. BB 07/12/12. (Systembolaget) Haparanda, Sweden.
Clear amber colour with small greyish white head. Mild sweet aroma of candies, soda and malt. Flavour is rather nice. Sweet malt, mild floral hops and candy sweetness. Very low carbonation. Watery. Gets slightly annoying when warms a bit. No need for another.

Plastic 330ml bottle... Pours clear deep amber with low white head. Aroma bread, hay and a horribly skunky off-flavor. This does not smell good... Taste is better, fairly weak with an overall bready caramel sweetness and low bitterness, even in the finish. Light, bland body with medium carbonation.

330ml plastic bottle with metal(!?) cap. This is probably one the worst beers I have ever drunk. Never again. Burn in hell!

330ml plastic bottle (Systembolaget, Stockholm)
Not a good pale lager aroma. Disgusting burnt plastic taste. 2 sips was too much, utterly awful.

Plastic bottle (Spendrups pls). Clear, light amber liquid with small to medium white head. Aroma of biscuit, grass, grain and cooked vegetables. Sure, some malty and hoppy qualities, but still not good. Taste is dry and light bitter with notes of biscuit, grain and cooked vegetables. Medium bodied with a bit high carbonation. This Pistonhead gimmick is getting boring.

Amber color with an off-white head. Half decent malt profile of bread and toffee to begin with. A lot of grainy sweetness, some apple, and maybe even some floral hops. Kind of watery, a bit of a solvent note. The flavor is moderately sweet with toffee and toasted bread malt notes. A touch of water, some green apple, light solvent, and a generic grain sweetness. Maybe a hint of hops and a light bitterness.

Plastic bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate.
