Kind of strange experience with this one. Smelled and tasted like yoghurt. Not in a bad way. I like that. Mostly with a blueberry flavor. Also felt some strawberry. Fresh and nice to drink in the sun when it was cold. Not that exciting when the temperature raised.
A fine golden color with a nice white head. Medium body and an average to soft carbonation. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Ok intensity in the aroma. Blueberry, mild lactic, some strawberry and some maltyness in the back of the flavor.

Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, blueberries, lingonberry and hint of tartness. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a long wheat and light sour blueberry finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Can. An unclear pale golden beer with a dense, finger-thick off-white head. The aroma has lots of berries, some lingonberry and a touch of generic fruityness. Not much maltyness going on, neither in the aroma nor in the flavor. Fruity, blueberry flavor with a little bitterness and some malty sweetness. Medium body, nice carbonation, quite dry. Blueberry finish with a generic fruityness. A quite decent one, sort of one dimensional. 160423

Boks (takk til Odd Gunnar!), delt med Ovesen: lett uklar lys gylden med kort skum. Aroma av (kunstig) sukkertøy, ikke entydelig blåbæraroma som man kunne forventet. Samme i smaken. Frisk men litt rar. Bilberries er europeiske blåbær, mens blueberries er amerikanske blåbær iflg. Wikipedia.

Can donated by OGJ and shared with JMD at HNB. Hazy straw colour. Off-white head with a hint of pink, Aroma and taste of bilberries and wine gum. Mouthfeel of artificial sweetener, but still quite refreshing!
