This one is citrusy, but I actually really don't like it. I came into it expecting it to be Gotlandssnus Grå, but with a citrus flavour instead of anis, but Gul just doesn't do it for me. It's a really strong citrus (well, for a lös, anywise), and to me, it doesn't hold up as well as the Grå does. I can keep a pris of Grå in for two hours without issue, but maybe 45 minutes is the limit on Gul, before it starts to drip down my teeth far more than I like. Although the two look the same cutwise, Gul also feels different in my mouth from Grå. It's probably mostly in my head, but I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as I thought I would. If you like a strong citrus taste, and can get the hang of baking it, you'd probably enjoy this, though.

I've come here to attempt a review for this snus at least a dozen times and every time I draw a blank. I love this snus (50 tins in the freezer love) and, for the life of me cannot figure out how to begin. Here goes...
The main thing I love about Gotlands Gul is the smell. It smells fresh and clean. Natural, as if it came from nature and not a factory. Citrus and tobacco blending into a perfect scent.
The flavor is complex with a strong but not overwhelming natural blend of citrus flavor followed by the tobacco. The tobaccos used are rich and complex providing an excellent base for the very well balanced citrus top note. There is a bitterness coursing through all of this which adds to the balance and complexity of the flavor and is quite nice. All in all, it is an a taste that one must experience in order to decide if it is enjoyable.
The grind is a little coarse and I find it to be a tad drier and harder to bake than most other los but to me, those are both pluses. I like that it stays where you put it very well and doesn't run as it takes on moisture. The coarseness was something to get used to coming from General, but the flavor made it very easy.
The can is basic gray plastic that has a nice snap when it shuts and does the job. It also is 50g as opposed to the 45g in most los snus cans.
Try it. If you don't like it send it to me.

This is simply the best tasting snus in the world imo. It is also one of the few snus that I absolutely love the smell of. I have to sniff it everytime I am about to make a pris. I can't add much to what others have said, but it is definately something everyone should try. It is completely unlike any other snus on the market. Clean and fresh tasting is the best description I can think of.
5 out of 5 stars.

Being new to the world of los (snus in general even), the only brands I've tried were Phantom blue los and Ettan los. I find this particular brand a little hard to hand bake. I just take a pinch, pack it with my fingers and shove it in. Stays together well with little drip/mudslide.
The flavor is a bitter citrus but very flavorsome. A little pinch went a long way with me. The nic hit was very satisfying to me.
Would I buy this again? Yes I would, but I can see this turning on me if over used.
Very quality stuff indeed.

I tried the potions of this way back when I first started and couldn't finish the tin. I heard the los was really good. I just did a trade with Tom and he sent me a can of this. This los is fantastic! Not getting the bergamot that others have mentioned, but very citirusy lemon. Very clean taste, natural. It is harder to handbake then say Ettan or General, but very small price to pay for the flavor. Nic hit is good, I'm def. gonna stock up a few cans in the following weeks.
EDIT - I'm getting the bergamot flavor now, it's subtle, but there. This is a really good snus! The portions don't even come close to this!
