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 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.

0,33 boks (bb. 0624) fra det statlige utsalg rett over bygrensa, hjemme: Nesten helt klar gylden med ok skum. Llitt pussig aroma og smak av brød, nesler, aprikosmarmelade og hint av agurk. Føles bitrere enn sine 26 IBU. Centennial humle, pilsner- hvete- og karamellmalt. Ikke helt fornøyd her, men så er heller ikke blonde en av mine favorittstiler.

Canned (from Vinmonopolet Kirkenes). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cooked vegetables, some raw sugary notes as well as mild grainy notes. Flavour is floral, mildly spicy and some grainy notes. Feels a bit aged.
