Supplier: St Andrews Wine Company
I've had this one before, when I first got it I thought it was from the USA what with the Brooklyn Bridge theme; but nope, it's from Sweden. This is a regular and one of their most popular beers (according to Untappd). I served this straight out of the fridge.

Appearance: An opaque straw/yellow colour with a thin and short lived white head.
Aroma: Sweet hop resin and peach with underlying notes of a malty vanilla and a slight off note.
Flavour: A nice blend of malts and a bit of bitterness from the hops, the malty note is a little bit flour-like.
Body: Crisp, fresh, and ideal for the style.
Aftertaste: A nice hoppy bitterness after, but this is mixed with a slight flavour of ear wax (this makes it sound very disgusting which it is not, just that tang in a very very small but noticeable amount). There are also some rose water notes.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, not as much floral hop notes as I remember but still very flavorful for a lager.
Price Range: £2.40 for a 330ml can; Good price for a beer that is nice and easy to drink
Food Pairings: Some sharp cheeses like cheddar would go well with this.
