February 2002: I got this in a 4,7% version in Norway some years ago. According to other reviewers, the slightly increased alcohol hasn't helped much. Are the Swedes as unsuccessful with beer as they are in the Winter Olympics?

February 2010: 500 ml brown bottle, as Pripps Jul, from Systembolaget post-Christmas 2009. ABV is 5.0%. Mahogany coloured beer, big off-white beige head. Sweetish fruity aroma, also notes of caramel malts, hints of Christmas spices. The flavour has notes of münchener and caramel malts, baked goods, sweet and slightly spicy, also with a certain fruitiness. Very moderate hops in the finish. Overall surprisingly decent for a beer from Pripps / Carlsberg Sweden.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken, n/a dept. ABV is 0.3%. Opaque yellow colour, moderate white head. Distinct aroma of over-ripe pineapple, also notes of lactic acid. The flavour is more sweet than sour, with distinct notes of fresh, ripe and over-ripe pineapple, hints of oranges. Kind of refreshing to drink, impossible to say if a "fruit smoothie" like this one has 0% or 6% alcohol.

September 2015: On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Hazy very pale golden colour, moderate white head. Strong aroma of oranges and citrussy hops, also hints of pine. Fairly light bodied. Medium dry flavour with notes of oranges and grapefruity and piney hops, but it still tastes mostly like a beer with a little orange juice added, not as orange juice with beer added. Refreshing and thirstquenching.
