The joyous occasions of the sun returning to Longyearbyen after a long and dark winter inspired us to brew this light, fruity and full flavoured beer. The addition of wheat malt and ample amounts of Centennial hops spark the light back into sun hungry Svalbardians.

Can @ home. Unclear golden body under a fine, big, dense white head. Mild but nice aroma, light malt and slightly floral and a citric touch. Taste is malt driven, smooth, mild malt, hint of biscuit with fruity hop bitterness. Balanced body and pleasant aftertaste. A nice and well-made version of a blonde, delicate subtle qualities with perhaps a bit more bitterness than typical for a blonde. Suits me fine, how fare can you go with a blonde?

Can courtesy of djoeye, shared with Ogi and Hrabren. Golden body, bit hazy, off-white head - thick, small. Vegetal-earthy aroma right now, likely oxidized. Sweetish citric gummi bear touches in the dry taste, slightly oxidized hoppiness, not much bitterness. The aroma's not great, but the taste is still okay.

0.33 l can shared with Ogi and Marko, thanks! Hazy orange, small off-white head. Aroma is lightly perfumy, yeasty, eastery, rose and ripe apple. Some cardboard, elderflower and grain. Smooth, sweet, juicy, tropical for some reason, light phenolic in the finish. Thin, soft carbonation, light abrupt finish.
