Draft. Pours pale yellow, tasted like a somewhat lousy american ale. Not that great.

Tap @ Både &, Kristiansand. Unclear orange body with a dense, lacing white head. Aroma is mild and dominated by pale malt and kind of light general fruity. Flavor has a mild, smooth malt and fruitiness, not much bitterness and somehow quite pleasant without being exiting or complex by any terms. Medium body and average aftertaste. Totally decent, and I was actually not expecting much of this but the barman convinced me to try it.

Can. Pours a clear gold color with a medium sized white head that has fair retention and lacing. The aroma is sorta non-distinct with soft grains, straw and some white fruits. The taste is bready malts and a bit of fruit. The palate is thin and crisp with lively carbonation. Finishes short and clean. Overall: Decent blonde ale.

Absolut feines Reisbierchen, sogar mit etwas Frucht. Keine Spur plädderich. Spät hinten leicht bitter. Ordentliches Sommerbier ohne zu speziell zu sein.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/19/2018. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, rice, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of lemon, pear, apple, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt/rice and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, rice, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of lemon, pear, apple, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, rice, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, lemon, pear, apple, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt/rice and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is a very good American blonde ale. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt/rice and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Great balance of clean pils malt/rice and earthy hops; with some restrained fruity yeast complexity. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
