Can shared with JMD on board Fridtjofen 13.10.16. Pale straw colour. Small and diminishing white head. Unappealing aroma of maize, wet grass, unfermented wort and yeast. Similarly unappealing taste. Waterish.

0,33 boks delt med Ovesen ombord på Fridtjofen: lett uklar lys strågul med kort skum. Aroma og smak av mais, gjær og noe jordaktige urter. Kort ettersmak. Panten er antakelig det beste med denne.

Small white head. Clear yellow body with light carbonation. Fruity strawberry aroma with mealy notes. Dry-sweet strawy strawberry taste with mealy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish mealy peas and fruit aftertaste with wooden notes. Lingering honey flavour. Not bad, but a bit strange. (0.355l can, from Meny Strømmen.)

350ml can kindly shared by Finn. A stable white head to a misty yellow-gold body. Spotty lacing. Modest aroma of hay and grain. Almond and grassy hops to the taste buds followed by a bittersweet tail. Medium to thin bodied. Satisfying (at Finns in Tromsø 04.02.2016).
