500ml can kindly shared by djoeye. Chalk white head to a clear golden body, spotty lacing. Ripe fruity smell, lightly spiced. Blended taste of biscuit, caramel and Belgian yeast strain joined by a spicy twist. Has got a bittersweet ending. Medium bodied. Pretty fair. (Rating session with lmojoh and Finn, PivotekaH7, Tromsø 17.12.2020).

0,75 flaske fra seremonimester Melbergs importkoffert (Superbrugsen Hirtshals), delt med ham og skibsrederen på maritim ølsmaking om bord på Fridtjofen sep-20: klar kobbergylden med eksemplarisk skum helt til siste dråpe. Lett krydret aroma fra den belgiske gjæren sammen med florale inntrykk. Blomsterhonning og søte clementiner blandre seg inn i smaken. Balansert, frisk og saftig med en søtlig, lett krydret ettersmak. Lettdrikkelig uten å være spesielt minneverdig.

Shared 750 ml bottle, from Superbrugsen Hirtshals. ABV is 5.5%. Copper colour, moderate white head. Typical \"spicy\" aroma of Belgian ale yeast, hints of brown kandij sugar and some caramel. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, a typical Belgian \"crowd pleaser\", but when the beer is as good as this, I don't mind being one of the crowd.
