The colour is yellow with a hint of gold; the high head slowly sinks down to a fine white lid. Minimal lacing.

The smell is bitter and hoppy with some notes of French loaf, grape fruits and herbs.

The taste is first very bitter. Then, a grassy/earthy flavour emerges together with a “bodybuilding” somewhat sweet flavour. The aftertaste got a low-key bitterness that fades slowly, leaving a grassy flavour of aroma hops with a gentle creamy note of alcohol.

The carbonation I average for a pale euro lager. Small bubbles.

The name is an ambiguity; it could mean both “our beer” and “spring beer”. The brewers stated that they wanted to make a good, uncomplicated hoppy lager to celebrate the coming of spring.

I am a little bit concerned about the new beers from Slottskällan: Earlier on, they produced very fine and typical beers of the most diverse European styles. Now, it seems like they are more interested of doing American micro-type beers with experimental blends of hops. And the results doesn't really convince me.
