This pale, refreshing and aromatic beer has a nice malt profile, together with plenty of hops for flavour and aroma.

Two 500ml bottles (batch 141) bought at Fenaknoken in Oslo and shared with some friends in Tromsø watching Spain vs Italy in Euro2008 on TV-HD. Bubbly, off-white head topping a slightly hazy, orange coloured body. Bready malt aroma with hops behind. Caramel malts in flavour mixed with hints of apples and citric hops. Dry bitter ending. A bit watered mouthfeel, but still a pleasure to drink (22.06.2008).

Hazy dark amber color. Hoppy aroma, earthy; leafy and fruity later; very nice. Thin (really too much) but smooth mouthfeel, dry caramel flavor and strong bitterness, a bit too astringent. The final is a bit harsh and dry as well.

Bottle at RBESG 2007. So hoppy, thinnish on the malts, but hot hop on the end. Superb.

Bottle. Almost clear body, golden-orange color, with an off-white head. Peach, pine and citrus dominates the aroma, really pleasant. The flavor is quite hoppy as well, with citrus, pine, fruits and bitterness. Hoppy finish too. Medium to full body. A lovely and refreshing beer at a quite low ABV. Rating: 7-4-7-4-15-3.7. 070705
Bottle. A hazy, orange-golden beer topped by a big, dense, off-white head that stays. Citrus peel, pine cones and peaches on the nose. The flavor has a malty sweetness in the back, with citrus and peach up front. A good bitterness takes you to ehe end. Full-bodied. A fine beer indeed, definately one of the best available in grocery stores in Norway. 100727
