A super effervescent hazed reddish copper ale with a quickly dissipating off white head. In aroma, a herbal and sweet gin-like character with raising dough, fir tree, cooling the nostrils. In mouth, a sweet Italian pop (chinotto) with fir, pine needles, fruity esters, alcohol warmth, a bit thin. Tasted with GRM on August 28, 2012.

Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Vika. (Old review from a closed down site, tasted 2011-07-10)
The first gruit ale I have tried, and certainly different from most beers I’ve tried. Strange herbal flavour that I’m not sure if I liked or not. I think I prefer hops, but this wasn’t bad eighter. Very interesting beer, but a bit peculiar. Well worth a try.

Rauchig-getreidiger Beginn mit stimmigen und milden Kräuternoten. Die im Antrunk noch geringen Hefenoten sind im Mittelteil deutlich intensiver, die Rauchigkeit dagegen in weiten Teilen verschwunden, als Ersatz zeigen sich Karamellnoten. Würzig, harmonisch, ausgewoegn, interessant. Nicht schlecht! 6/11/11/11/8/11

From Skyview. Nearly half of the bottle gushed out upon opening. Flavor is sweet mostly, brown sugar and some yeast, smooth. Nice malt aroma with grain, but I do not perceive an herbal quality.

Keg at CP&K. It pours hazy deep amber, with a big yellow-white head. The nose is fresh strawberry, malt vinegar, balsamic vinegar and ginger. The taste is fig, raisin, date, wood, brown sugar, varnish, berry, light vinegar, herbal and toasted brown bread. Full body, fine carbonation and foamy mouth-feel. Enjoyable and interesting.

0.5l bottle. Cloudy light brown with a red hue. Almost no head. Quite sweet on the nose with strong notes of herbs. Really different taste. Not sure if this is sweet or sour, perhaps both, perhaps none. Turkish Pepper Sweets (liquorish) combined with a peppery herbal spine that makes this really different. Medium carbonated and medium bodied. As many of the haanbdryggeriets brews often do, the carbonation made me spill 1/19 of the bottle on the bench while I opened it. Quite unique and original brew this.
