Bottle. Best before 220520. Nice lacing left as the finger-thick white head sinks down the glass, as the lightly hazy golden colored beer enters my mouth. The aroma is really delicious, faintly banana-ish, faintly smoked, with lots of generic fruityness, some yeastyness in a very nice way, with a light funky, spiced or herbal hint. It's full-bodied and lightly warming, softly and pleasantly carbonated, with a light sweetness and very little bitterness. The flavor has lots of resemblance with a Belgian Tripel, it's fruity and with a light yeast impact, phenolic and lightly orangey, and there's a certain alcohol touch too. Wouldn't mind a touch more bitterness though. Banana, smoke, pale malts, yeast, peppery hints, herbs and a generic fruityness all blend without any of them really standing out. Medium length fruity, lightly yeasty finish. This was a really fine one. After it gets a bit warmth, the yeast plays a bigger role than I think it deserves, else it's a very fine brew. 220205

Bottle. Has a clear straw colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of dry hay, grass, heather, lime and hints of smoked sausage. Flavour of grass, white bread, wet hay and some warming alcohol in the end. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Malty and decent. A little Belgian-like.

Bottle. Clear golden body under a dense white head. Aroma has some malt, hint of rubber and light smoke. Taste is mild malt, hint of smoke and a bit wheat yeast kind of banana taste. Interesting experience to see how different each yeast strain effect the same brew. A better beer than #9 but not particular interesting itself with the exception of the yest experiment.

0,33 flaske fra vp Verksgata, hjemme: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Et solid, maltdrevet øl hvor kveiken får spille hovedrollen. Hint av røykmalt kvesser smaken, dette er norsk tradisjonsøl man kan være stolt av.

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Frothy white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Bright golden body. Promising canned fruity smell, hints of spices and lightly smoked. Spiced fruity taste carefully smoked, hints of spruce and integrated kveik yeast. Rounded canned fruity finish. Clean on the swallow. A pleasant surprise this one. (Tromsø 24.07.2020).
