Gullkorn

Bottle, at Gladmat. It’s a clear dark golden beer with a white fingerthick head. The aroma is quite fruity, with a light alcohol-sweet touch. Pine cones and grass. It’s full-bodied and a bit warming on the palate, with a nice carbonation level. More on the sweet side than on the dry side. There’s enough bitterness to deal with the pale malts and light alcohol touch. Quite fruity, with a lasting finish. Far from superb this one, but it’s a decent beer anyway.

Bottle. As Frihetsøl. It pours a lightly hazy dark golden body and a small but dense off-white head. The aroma is quite fruity-sweet, with some alcohol notes, Hints of canned peaches in the far back. It’s full-bodied and well carbonated, rather sweetish on the palate, with fruityness, a bitterness trying to bring some balance, and a touch of canned peaches. A generic fruityness does most of the flavor work though. Not much alcohol in the flavor, neither initially nor in the sweet and fruity finish. Overall, it’s too sweet I think, but it’s clean and quite tasteful anyway. Not a beer I buy more than once. 140731

33cl bottle from Vinmopolet Kiellandsplass. Pours clear, deep golden with a white head. Moderate malty and grainy aroma with caramel, some fruity notes and hints of herbal hops. Medium sweet with a fairly light bitterness. Hints of alcohol too. Quite okay, but not my kind of beer. Fair enough, but not a beer I would buy again.

En liten anslse søtlig duft av frukt og gjær. Fin gyllen farge. Lite skum, liten ring langs kant. En littt bitter smak av karamell og frukter. Et helt greit øl å ta på Norges 200 år dag.

Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet, grain, hay, nuts, caramel, cereal. Taste is slightly sweet grainy, nuts, caramel, grain, hay, toffee, grass, cereal. Medium bitterness, slightly dry and harsh grainy mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Bottle at home. Has a clear, light golden amber color, and with a medium-sized, creamy and off-white head. The aroma is both fruity and sweet with a touch of proper British fudge, apricot, hay, leather, sweet malt and some sweet corn and lemon. The taste is a bit sweet as well with touches of more wood and apricot, and with grassy hops in the end. The beer is also a bit dry in the aftertaste. Mouth feel is smooth, and the bitterness is at a low level. This is in many ways a tasty beer for a Dortmunder to be, but is also an easy-drinking beer. The beer have a good balance, nice freshness and a pleasant fruitiness.
