Plastic bottle from Tbone, thanks! Dark brown color. Apple syrup in the aroma. Watery flavor. Certainly not too sweet with rye bread. Not much flavor, lots of carbon. Somewhat sticky mouthfeel. Drinkable.

950ml pet bottle kindly shared by djoeye. Clear copper body, a few bubbles on the surface, spotty lacing. Dark bread on the nose. Dried fruits and dark bread to the taste profile. Roasted ending. Thin bodied. Okay as a sweet soft drink. (Session with Finn and djoeye, Tromsø 14.11.2018).

PET flaske spandert av djoeye. Delt med ham og Rune på Nerstranda. Mørk rødbrun. Filmskum. Maltaroma. Hint av karamell. Smaken som aromaen. Mest karamell. Uvariert.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Clear nut brown, small head. Raisiny wort aroma. Sweet, fruity and syrupy, light bodied with sticky rye bread and saccharine. No bitterness.

Plastic bottle. Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige fluffy head. Aroma is rye bread, cardboard, saccharine, and mild rotten fruity notes. Flavour is enormously sweet along with mild roasted notes as well as ryebread. Also some cardboard in it. Tastes quite much like non-alcoholic stuff.

Plastic bottle 0,95 ltr
Dark amber color, small beige head. A bit sticky aroma of molasses, rye bread and saccarine. Watery palate. Mainly sweet, sugary flavor with some ryebread and malty notes. Low bitterness. Less offensive than Sinebrychoff’s Perinnekalja, but still not good enough to use this with food - homebrew kalja (from brewing kit) beats this.
