What about the beer?
Colour is clear straw yellow with a large white head. Aroma has mostly malts, some hay and a slice of lemon. Taste starts with dry malty bitterness. Stiff bready malts and tart citrus
bitterness take over with some yeast hints. Towards the end dry pine and
heavy grapefruit bitterness get on top. Aftertaste has lasting grapefruit-bitter
malty dryness.
This brew gives what it promises. Starts as a malt-driven lager and
turns to a gently bitter IPA - the finish combines some fine sides of both styles. Not a big fan
of pale lagers but this beer works.
Ölbeat
There are three options in the brew's label: "strong minded", "brave hearted" and "bold as love". The chosen song has the title of the last one, but it owns the first two qualities as well. The colours in the song have been thought to correspond emotions: angry purple, envious green, quiet blue, happy turquoise, confident red, daring orange and frightened yellow. "And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from / Giving my life to a rainbow like you" tells about the storyteller's fear to express emotions to other colour (and emotion) showing people. The song fits the brew's mood nicely, since there is more than one side in the beer, too.
