This is, as far as i know, the only Swedish beer marketed as “light”. It was introduced in the mid 90’s with the slogan “Fewer calories. Lots of taste.”.

The colour is yellow with a tint of gold. The small white airy foam sinks quickly down to a ring with a minimum of lacing.

The mild smell got sour notes of dough, some sweetness and a hint of roasted malt.

The taste is mild (if one should be polite) or watery (if one should be honest). There are, however, sour flavours of malt and a touch of sweet-salt-broth. The aftertaste got some bitter shades and a sweet dough-finish.

The carbonation is strong; stronger than the average lager. It kind of hides the flavours (or the lack of flavours).

“Fewer calories”? Probably. “Lots of taste”? Bollocks!
