500 ml bottle sampled in 2009. Pale golden body with a big white head. Light and refreshing aroma of citric fruit, grass, flowers and spices. Flavor is mild malt, light fruity, hint of acidic fruit and low bitterness. Medium body and short aftertaste.

Bottle, thx to tarjei. It pours a clear, yellowish pale golden body under a white head. Citrusy, resiny nose on a base of bready malts. The flavor has a quite lovely citrusy and slightly resiny flavor from the hops, leaving the malts in the far back. A fine bitterness takes you to the very end. Medium body. It’s a really easy drinkable beer, quite quenching as well, but it’s far from impressive. Rating: 6-3-6-3-12-3. 090720
Bottle. A clear, almost golden beer with a white head. Malty, crackery nose with wheat and citrusy hops. Bready pale malts and wheat in the mouth, a decent bitterness balancing it. Medium body. Slightly metallic in the finish. An English bitter/golden ale with a wheaty touch, doesn’t make it very much interesting, but it’s an easy drinkable one. 090828

Bottle. Wheat beer? Hell no! Anonymous clear golden color. No head. Almost no aroma at all, some hops. Hoppy flavor, kind of nice, but it dies immediately. This beer has a lot of weaknesses but it’s still very refreshing.

500 ml bottle, bought at ICA Middelthon, Stavanger (also available at Vaaland, Bryne). ABV is 4.4%. Crystal clear pale golden colour (like a pilsener), big to moderate white head. The aroma is hoppy with grassy and citric notes. Refreshing hoppy flavour, ending in a grapefruity and slightly resinous bitterness, there is some malty sweetness but it is quite subdued. I thought the cask version had more of a wheaty character than the bottle. Well, the bottles are pasteurised, so that probably explains it. More of a "well hopped pilsener" character here. Not bad though.

(50 cl bottle at Haket, Göteborg) On November 28, 2008. BB 28 Nov 08 (about time then :D) Hazy golden color, big white head. Fruity, smooth, sweet, floral scent. Bitter, a bit sweet, mostly dry, herval taste. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium low bitterness. Says on the bottle it’s a wheat beer, guess it’s wheat malt in it, no wheat yeast characteristics at all though.
