The esteemed explorer Van Vuuren is an integral part of the Amundsen team. So much so, that we named this beer after his parrot. The intrepid explorer found the recipe for Lorita in a glass bottle along the coast of the Summer Isles. it was said to be a recipe for happiness. The Amundsen team recreated it as best as we could using passion fruit, the rare and esteemed Azacca hop and malted barley. The result is a fruity beer with tropical, refreshing character. We recommend pairing Lorita with a journey on a raft in the South Seas.

Dry, sharpish, resiny mealy passionfruit aftertaste. Lingering bitterness. Quite nice. (0.33l can, from Meny Strømmen.)

330ml can bought at Gulating Ølutsalg, Tromsø. Pours a misty, golden-orange coloured body. Filmy layer, fragile lacing. Grain and sweet passion fruity nose. Mid-sweet fruity flavours including passion fruit and grapefruit, grainy backbone. Mid-sweet fruity ending. Lacing bitterness. Just alright (31.03.2017).

Bottle. An unclear orange-golden beer with a foamy off-white head of three-finger size. Some lacing. The aroma has lots of peach/passionfruit, some physalis and orange, and a sugary touch. Not much maltyness going on, but it’s a tad yeasty I think. It’s quite rather effervescent, medium bodied and semi-dry, with a mostly peach and passionfruit flavor. The bitterness feels a bit harsh, and in the back there’s a little bready maltyness and a wee hint of caramel. Lasting harsh bitter finish with passionfruit and some orange zest. And even some yeast. The carbonation level and yeast pushes this beer in the direction of troublesome, the harsh bitterness doesn’t help. But there’s lots of goodyness going on too, fortunately. 161021

On tap at Jarmann Gastropub, Oslo. Has a slightly hazy amber colour with an off-white head. Fruity aroma tropical fruits, fruity hops, oranges and grass. More fruit in the flavour with apricot, hay, pale malt and mowed grass. Has a slick mouth feel, light body and a light to medium bitterness. A fruity and decent session IPA.

500 ml bottle from Gulating, Arendal. Unclear golden body with a nice off-white head. Aroma has tropical fruit and mild pale malt. Flavor is mild, soft, pale malt with medium tropical fruit and moderate bitterness, hint of yeast. Medium body and decent aftertaste. Nice and refreshing beer with a pretty good balance, but still a bit diffult to see where the IPA part is. OK, it’s a session beer and the hops are in the focus, but having an American Pale Ale From Nøgne afterwards, the last one is way more hoppier and fruity, still an typical APA at the same ABV percentage. Apart from that it’s a nice, light and refreshing session ale.

0.5l bottle from #271. Hmm.. Looks good with a cloudy darker golden colored body under a tall really lasting and almost hefty lacing off-white head. It smells really sweet and almost a little artificial at first. Candy, lots of passion fruit, intense ripe mango sweetness. The artificiality fades after a while in the glass, leaving a lovely fruity and candy infused aroma. Like it more and more. Tastes pretty good also. Not too sweet at all. Lots of passion fruit, tones of raspberry soup. It has a nice oily texture in the mouth and it's just above average on the creamy carbonation. Tastes really good. A bit watery in the finish perhaps, but this is one I definitely could drink again. 06.08.2016
