440ml can: No mention of 2022, but it is 4.2% ABV, no mention of the hops either! Anyway I drank it at home on 8th March 2024. Hazy lemon body, white crown. Citrus front, back and sides, lemon and grapefruit being the main players.

[August 2022] Cloudy/murky yellow gold with a bubbly white head and a fruity nose. It’s a little bit tropical and nicely bitter

Beige collar on a very pale lemon coloured body. Earthy, herbal & chalky aroma. Medium, soft & dry - pretty lifeless. Orange, bitter hops, tangy citrus & melon tastes. Quaffer.

Drukket på Lillehøgda. Appelsinfarget. Uklar. Middels høyt luftig skum som blir fort borte. Aroma av sitronskall. Smaken grapefrukt. Antydning til bitterhet i avslutninga. På det jevne.
