My goal was to craft an ale of extreme balance with a delicate complexity that allows for contemplation while also providing quaffable refreshment. starting with a base of German wheat & pale malts this crisp slightly hazy foundation was then accented with a blend of Sterling & Citra hops providing a intricate blend of herbal grass & tangerine citrus flavors and aroma. to pull this all together and to complete the ’cleansing’ aspect of my vision i gently finished the ale off with a touch of white sage, lending a mild earthy spice character to the blend. of course let’s not forget our house saison yeast that brought all the elements together leaving a dry yet intricate finish.

Bottle at H�ndverkerstuene, Oslo. Has a bit cloudy straw colour with a off-white medium head. Is pretty carbonated. The aroma has a nice spiced touch along with coriander, citrus, pale malt, hay and Belgian yeast, and feels fresh. The flavour is more pronounced with still lasting spicy tones and sweet corn and hops. Nice! Has a slick mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A fresh and delightful beer.

Bomber. Has an incredibly atmospheric, haunting-looking label. I’ve always loved the connotations associated with the phrase ’cellar door,’ which is probably why I ordered this beer with little to no hesitation! Pours murky pale orange with a large white soapy head that recedes slowly. Nose is extremely aromatic, bursting with sage, honeysuckle, clove. Taste is lightly sweet and spicy, with some tartness coming along in the finish. Highly carbonated with a somewhat thin body (like I said in my last rating, being a summer beer, this is probably intended and definitely welcomed). Really nice.

Bottle - Perfumy hops, grassy, and the typical farmhouse smells. Very pleasant. Cloudy orange with a nice foamy white head. Citrus, apricot and hay with a nice mellow bitterness. Very creamy and pleasant on the palate. A very heavy with, but a very pleasant beer nonetheless.

75 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 18.06.2011
Aroma has peppery spices, some yeasty and wheaty notes. Flavour is rather strong on peppery spices, some coriander and citrusy notes. Palate is too high on carbonation. Too much CO2 and spices here.

Bottle: Poured a hazy golden orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of lightly hoppy notes with light spices and a medium sweet malt backbone is quite interesting. Taste is a complex mix between some lightly sweet rustic malt notes with some fruity ester with dry hoppy notes with light notes of spices. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Easily drinkable while providing quite a lot of complexity.
