Served on-tap at Man in the Moon in Stockholm.
Poured into a pint glass, the appearance is straw yellow with just less than a finger of white head. This pilsner has a nose with lemon, flora, light hops. It has a refreshing taste, with citrus, grass, sugar and malt. Mouthfeel is light, a clean finish with just another dash of that hop profile. All in all, a decent pilsner. It was nice to try yet another new to me beer on my trip to Sweden.

A light yellow clear brew, a white firm head leaving good lacing.
The smell is distinctively citric and floral, grape, hay, pines, american hops I dare say.
Some digestive biscuit sweetness and maltiness, a lot of grapefruit juice, green apples, and a good lasting bitterness.
Medium high carbonation, but a soft and rich feeling.
This was a pleasant surprise, I do not have high hopes foe American Pale Lagers. But this one combined the Czech Pils with the best of the new world.

The colour is pale gold; the 3 finger head is airy and off-white. It sinks slowly leaving lots of lacing.
The smell is very hoppy. Lots of bitter-sour citric fruits (lime, lemon) and a touch of flowers, wood and resin. It is dry and very bitter.
The taste is much stronger and more alcoholic than the 5.3% suggests. Hoppy flavours dominate the flavours with lots of lime and a chemical hint of floor polish and diesel. Some flowery notes and an overall bitter-dry taste. It lacks some body, I think. The strong hoppy flavours (mainly from Amarillo) leave some room for a mildly sweet malty flavour in the aftertaste. There is a note of exotic fruits in the finish as well as a gentle earthy flavour.
The carbonation is strong, the small bubbles fresh. The liquid is a bit sticky.
A very fresh and hoppy beer that misses something, probably some roasted malt.

Agree, lots of floral hops and citrus, but it's all a bit understated. Of course, it's a lot more floral hopsy than you'd expect from a pilsener. Rich, but light taste with hints of real craftmanship. Same goes for the aftertaste.
Is this a IPA? No. It's still very (hoppy and) aromatic, but lacks that bitterness to make it seem an IPA. I don't really see it as a pilsener, but more as a spring lager.
Surprisingly good, and plus also for the bottle which is nice. I thought it would be a bit gimmicky because of it, but I think it really suits it's taste. Slender and flowery, and not even a little bit of cynical bitterness.

The bottle looks like a small wine-bottle, brown 33 cl longnecked. The small label at the bottom is blue and golden and has got a picture of S:t Erik (or Erik Jedvardsson, a swedish king from the mid 12th century).
A: Light golden with a rather nice white large head that dissipates after some time, leaving some lacings.
S: Lots of american floral hops, piney and citric. Some caramell malt. Some bitter notes as well.
T: American floral hops, pine and lemon together with lots of hazelnuts. Caramell and pilsener malt.
M: Medium body and rich carbonation. Dry bitter aftertaste that stays for quite some time.
D: Surprisingly nice. A mix between American hops and pilsener malt (a bit Czech to me). I like this one.
