OK, Tiger, we are ready to face it. Yes, we want to have you converted into the world of craft beer, but we want to be gentle. You love your lager nice and cold and fresh? Here you are! But let's make it a bit more zingy, a bit less boring, let's get a pinch of aroma hops in there and dry-hop it for extra measure. So, how do you like it now?

330ml bottle, many thanks to djoeye for sharing. Steady white head to a clear golden body, spotty lacing. Moderte hints of herbal hops and grain on the nose. Mid-sweet flavours of pale malts and ripe lemon. A welcome touch of bitterness to the ending. Satisfying. (PivotekaH7 session with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 22.09.2020).

Spandert av djoeye. Delt med ham og Rune i H7. Lys gylden. Nesten klar. Middels høyt luftig skum. Litt lacing. Vaniljearoma. Smaken blomster. Kunstig helhetsinntrykk.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Tom L. Clear golden. Fruity hops, slightly skunky, some sweetish pale malt, bready, bitterish finish. Decent.

Nach dem miesem Varvar Pils ist dies wieder eine positive Überraschung. Das Bier ist, wie der Name schon sagt, sehr stark gehopft, was ihm eine angenehme Frische à la Pils verleiht. Aber der malzbetonte Körper des Lagers hinten hinaus lässt klar das Grundgerüst erkennen. Ein wirklich gutes Bier.

On tap at Art Craft Pub, pours a hazy dull copper blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light citrus hopping and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is crisp, with a nice dry grassy hopping upfront, and a crisp biscuity malt base. Nice hopping to this, with a crisp mouthfeel. Solid.
