A pure pleasure to drink.
Hazy amber-ish color with a fine tan head. Looks nice. The head stays for a long time. Nice intensity in the aroma, with a fine hop profile. Medium (+) body and smooth carbonation. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Citric/grapefruit hoppy, pine, bready and fruity flavor. Semi dry texture.

Fra flaske på Lilland Hotell, i hyggelig lag med gode rbhd-venner nov-16: uklar kobbergylden med flott skum. alltid spennende med et nytt, lokalt bryggeri, og vi be alle gledelig overrasket - begge ølene vi smakte overbeviste både med aroma og smak. Denne hadde en solid maltkropp som bar humlekomboen fint: Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe og Amarillo. Karamell, lyse frukter (pære og grapefrukt). Rund munnfylde med behagelig ettersmak - meget lettdrkkelig.

Shared bottle at Lilland Hotell with RB/HD 01.11.16. Muddy orange. Off-white head and lacing. Moderate aroma of orange marmalade and fudge. Oranges, tropical fruits, bread, cocolate, malt and caramel in lingering taste. Moderate bitterness.

Unlabelled 500 ml bottle in the hotel bar. Price NOK 105. Served ice cold, improves as it warms up a little. Amber colour, moderate white head. Distinct hoppy aroma, notes of pine and spruce, also notes of grapefruit. Distinctly hoppy flavour too, a bit on the dry side, but still with sufficient malts. Some fruit, but the overall character.is more piney than fruity, with a solid resinous bitterness. No "beginner’s fault" with this one, very drinkable and enjoyable as it is.
