500ml bottle, bb. 01/22 (new version?) bought at Gulating Ølutsalg in Bodø. Shared with Liv and Kjell. A filmy layer over a cloudy golden body, clingy lacing. Moderate aromas of grain and yeasty fruitiness. Pretty similar taste profile of mid-sweet fruit, yeasty esters, and wheat. Mid-sweet and mid-dry fruity endnotes. Accepted. (Svenskebyen Bodø, 28.05.2021).

Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of hay, white bread, phenols, citrus fruit, grass and some plastic bag. Flavour of grass, pale malt, spicy hops and hay. Has a slick and light mouth feel, light body and a light bitterness. Malty and decent. A little careful, and more a pilsener in the mouth than a Belgian blonde.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Askje 13.10.18. Clear golden. Small white head. Aroma of crystal malt and cellar. Strange taste of malt, cellar, strange fruits and odd bitterness.

Shared 500 ml bottle at local tasting. Golden colour, small white head. Moderate aroma, a hint of Belgian ale yeast and wet basement. The flavour is not perfect and a bit unfresh, but the hops are fairly decent.

Fra flaske på RBHD-samling hos Asle Bjørn, okt-18: lett uklar gylden med ok skum. Mystisk aroma og smak, denne begriper jeg lite av. Hadde jeg brygget en slik selv hadde jeg slett ikke vært fornøyd.
