Bottle from Gulating. Rather clear golden body with a fine off-white head. A bit weak and rather neutral in aroma, malt and light fruit in general. Flavor is medium sweet malt, hint of toffee, some fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and a bit short in aftertaste. Totally decent, easy drinkable, perhaps closer to a British bitter but not much going on here really. PErhaps the hops has faded out.

Bottle, at Haandgemeng. A clear golden colored beer with a nice coff-white head leaving lacing. The aroma is biscuity and lightly nutty, with some caramel and bread. Citrusy and piney hops too. It's medium bodied, nicely carbonated and smooth on the palate, with a decent bitterness. Bready pale malts, biscuits, caramel hints and mostly pine cones and citrus in the flavor. Long finish. A pleasant Session IPA that needs a few sips to shine. 171027

Deep golden color with a fine head. Ok lacing. Nice intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a fine carbonation level. Tad sweet and a decent bitterness. Toffee, grapefruit hoppy and tropical flavor. Nice pale ale with some more character than normal.

0,5 flaske fra Gulating Stavanger, etter markering av første søndag i badvent (7,8 C i sjøen): nesten helt klar dyp rødlig kobber med fint skum. Deilig duft av Mandarina-humlen (en av mine favoritter), men det gjenspeiles desverre ikke i smaken som er direkte besk og usjarmerende. Skuffende julegave fra det ellers så kompetente Haandbryggeriet.
