Hoppy and fruity, more on the dry side. Citrus with some dry grass, smooth, very nice.

Canned, from Systembolaget. Hazy golden, mid sized head. Aroma of dried apricots. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Fairly subtle flavour of dried apricots and mild citrus on clean, fruity malt. Low bitterness.

Fasadevaskprosjektet er endelig avsluttet, og det må naturligvis feires! 0,473 boks fra hjelpemiddelsentralen på Kvaddå: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Lett pepret aroma og smak med steinfrukter, citrus og de oglibatoriske tropiske frukter. God maltsmak og god bedring for knær og håndledd (neste år overlater jeg jobben til proffene!). Saftig avslutning med mersmak, men de lokale helter er fortsatt best.

Shaker pint draft after a show at TD Garden at Tavern in the Square in Boston, Massachusetts. The pour is a hazed golden with a well formed white head. The aroma is resin, citrus peel, fruit sweet and a bit of cereal grain below. The taste is a nice blend of the resin, citrus fruit hops and the clean cracker malt base. The palate is medium bodied, with soft natural carbonation and a clean, dry, resin, finish.

From tap at Tørst, Brooklyn. Juicy fruity hop aroma with tropical notes, mango, passion fruit, citrus, orange, some oniony dankness, oats, touch of pine. Flavour is mild sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Rich and balanced, lovely sweetish juice aroma. Substantial, indeed.
