Big white head. Hazy yellow body. Mealy grainy tropical fruit aroma with spicy candy notes. Sweetish candy fruit taste with mealy slightly papery notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish tropical fruit and candy/jam aftertaste with mealy coriander notes. Not bad. Very reminiscent of "Belgian wheat" industrial ale from Švyturys. (0.5l can, from Meny Triaden, Lørenskog.)

Unclear pale golden color with a fine white head. Ok lacing. Looks good and quite unusual for a beer from Borg. Fine intensity in the aroma. Actually some fresh citric hoppy notes. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Fine balanced sweetness versus bitterness. Pale malt, citric, mild fruity and some pine in the flavor. A quite fine and refreshing beer. Also a lasting flavor. Well done Borg.

Hmm hold on a second….I was a bit to fast here.
After a little while when it got warmer. Some buttery note came sneaking in here and there. Especially in the aroma. And I really do not like that. The flavor also got more malty, and everything went quite unbalanced. Changed my rating with 0.5 points. 3.5 when it was proper chilled. But that significant changes should not appear!
