500ml bottle. Clear and very pale yellow colour with a small white head, very lively carbonation. Aroma is light hoppy, citrus, lemon, grassy. Taste is also quite light, sweetish malt, citrus fruit and lemon flavours, herbal. Slightly watery texture, and overall quite a light and refreshing beer if not particularly exciting.

Pours clear pale straw. Aroma is very pleasant and spicy and fruity. Hops is noticeable and herbal and gives it a nice aroma all in all. Flavour is a little watery but nice for the 3.5%. Quite hoppy, especially in the aftertaste, fruity and light overall. Nice lightweight.

Bottle. Pours clear light yellow, with a nice creamy head. Pleasant crisp and hoppy aroma, which despite a slight metallic bite showcase herbs and citrusy notes, as well as fresh tropical notes of litchi and kiwis. Light body, with fizzy carbonation. Flavour is crisp herbal hops, with citrus, litchi, berries and grassy notes, as well as some balancing, bready malts. Crisp and quaffable,with an almost pilsnerish touch to it.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines, Sheffield. One of those that you thought you must have already rated. Very pale, green tinged, straw colour. Light haze. Minimal, white head. Nose has soft, sweet grain. Lime juice. Citrus peel. Taste is light bitter. Some dryness. Light body. Crisp carbonation. Light bitter finish, that dries out at the end.

500 ml bottle, BB date 04.04.2014, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 3.5%. Crystal clear and very pale yellow colour, large white head. Moderate but pleasant aroma of crushed gooseberries, herbs and citrus. Light bodied as expected, medium dry and crisp, with moderate notes of herbal hops.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Pale straw, small white head. Aroma feel watery, but not hopelessly. Mostly grassy and lemony, some fruity and flowery notes, white bread and a touch honey sweetness. The taste is also on the verge of being watery. Hops upfront, herbal and lemony, some CO2 acidity. Almost now malts and a moderate grassy and piney finish. Not bad for its gravity.

Clear pale golden color with white head. Aroma is fruity, lemony, some sweeter tropical fruits. Light malts & straw behind it. Taste is more lemons and tropical fruits, light malts & straw backbone. Very refreshing. Fizzy carbonation. A good summer aperitif.
