Bloting var den viktigaste ritualmagien i heidensk tid. Den som var ansvarleg for gjennomføring av blotet vart kalla hovgode (hofgoði). Blotgildet som følgjer etter blotet var viktig fordi dei trudde gudane alltid gleda seg over gildet. Blotet på Mære var det mest betydlege på Innherred. Vikinghøvdingen Ølve på Egge var den siste hovgoden på Mære før han vart drepen av Olav den Heilage sine menn. Sjølv om Ølve hadde blitt døypt i vikingferd i Europa, samla han bøndene på Mære til blot, fordi han syntes ikkje at dei kristne levde etter si lære, då dei for fram med drap og svik.

Flaske 500ml fra Meny Oslo City. Gyldenbrun. Uklar. Veldig høyt luftig skum med kremkonsistens i midten. Litt lacing. Interessant aroma av bær & trær. Smaken har samme preg. Selje. Uvanlig og godt. Litt bunnfall igjen på flaska.

Bottle. It pours a huge, rocky light beige head over an unclear reddish brown body. The aroma seems quite pleasant at first, roasted and caramel-ish, but there’s also a faint chalky touch and some yeast. Roasted and lightly burnt flavor with some fruity hints and a yeasty touch. Licorice notes. Some bitterness. Roasted, caramel finish with a faint touch of licorice, and a nice bitterness. Suspect it’s fermented too warm this one, but it’s quite nice anyway. 140509

Brun tåkete med massivt fluffy gulbrunt skum. Krydder, malt og litt lukt av sure kirsebær. Smaker krydderier, syrlig og noe bitter humle. Lett, noe bitterhet i ettersmaken, lite kullsyre.

Rerate, cold 500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Beautiful reddish colour, low off-white head. Aroma and flavour like first sample, but more refreshing now of course. Sourish-dry finish. No need to change the score of my first rating. Original rating: Shared 500 ml bottle at hotel room tasting, sampled too warm. ABV is 4.5%. Reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of brown malts and wood. Flavour of brown malts and wood, dry. Not really impressed.

500ml bottle bought at Meny Oslo City. Rocky, off-white head to a hazy, dark orange coloured body. Spotty lacing down the glass. Brown, earthy malts on the nose. Herbal hops and brown malts to the flavour character. Malt bitter endnotes. Rather well bodied. Ok version of the style (hotel room, Oslo 13.02.2014).
