500ml bottle, kindly shared by Finn. Pours a two-finger thick, bubbly, white head leaving rings of lace down the glass, hazy golden body. Moderate smell of grass and mid-sweet malts. Rounded taste profile of ripe orange, herbal hops and a bite of mild caramel malts. Smooth bittersweet finish. Medium bodied. Pretty alright. (Tromsø 23.07.2021).

Delt med Rune på Nerstranda. Gylden. Uklar. Høyt luftig skum som daler sakte. Litt lacing. Aroma av honning & blomster. Smaken balansert. Blomster. Tørket frukt. Tørr avslutning.

Cask at Bandstand bar, Nairn. It pours clear rich golden with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, oily, candied orange, bit of marmalade and orange blossom. The taste is firmly dry, quite bitter, bitter orange, estery fruits, melon, pear, peppery spice and some floral vibes with a firmly dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fair enough.
