330 ml bottle, from a store in London. Pale golden color, moderate white head. Weak sweetish aroma, a hint of coconut. Initially fairly bland flavour, but at least there are some notes of both malts and hops, and no particular off-flavours, so the beer passes the "drinkable" test. Reasonably bitter aftertaste. Better than I feared.

Amazing design and great head! Aroma like a Czech pilsner.
Loving the flowery hops. Sweet malt, reminds me of Amstel.
Considering this is a budget Swedish pilsner, I'm impressed. A little on the sweet side for me but the hops is impressive.

On-tap at Harry James, Stockholm, Sweden
A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a slight amount of visible carbonation. It poured with thin white head that died down, leaving only a narrow collar of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of floral hops are present in the nose along with hints of underlying malts.
T: The taste follows the smell and has a little stronger flavors of floral hops along with underlying notes of pale and bready malts. The hops contribute a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied and clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer has a good balance between the malts and hops. The hop aromas and flavors also make the smell and taste a bit more interesting compared to other European lagers.
Serving type: on-tap

Golden color with a thin head with short retention.
Aroma with predominant notes of bready malt and lager yeast.
Malty flavor with notes of Pilsen malt, dough, floral hops, mild orange citrusy and lager yeast. Dry aftertaste with a low to moderate bitterness.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Not sure why Kustom, it felt rather standard. Not bad though, a summer beer with no off-flavors.
