Clear golden beer with a disappearing white head. Weak straw aroma. Taste: Fruity, slight sour, some malty sweetness too. A little watery but an ok pale lager.

Can courtesy of Milos- Decants the palest of yellows, with a quick fizzy cap that dissipates. Nose of rice, grains, some pale lager malt. tastes clean, but quite watery. RIce and slightly sweet pale malts meet faint grassy notes. Thin, clean, palate cleanser. thanks Milos!

Can. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt combined with skunky notes of brewing cereal and some metal. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, skunky notes of brewing cereal and metal, leading to a dry metallic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle. Pale yellow, with big shotlasting white head. Little aroma of flowers. Taste is dry, with a wery little malty note, undertone of hops.... and nothing

[Canned] Very pale yellow, rich but brief head. Aroma of perfume, lingonberries and rice. Sweet with loads of cardboard. Light bodied. Completely dominated by paper and chemicals. No bitterness.

Big white creamy head shrinks rapidly into rough lace, then thin layer. Pale yellow body with ongoing carbonation. Sweetish, watery, sugary aroma, reminiscent of apple juice with chemical touches. Taste is watery, grainy nothing and cardboard, with a splash of hops at the end. Chalky mouthfeel. Dreadful. (0.355l can.)
