Vipstjert

440ml can [at 7% abv, courtesy of Claudius - thank you very much!]. Cloudy, orange golden colour with average, dense, frothy to creamy, slowly diminishing, moderately lacing, white head. Slightly grainy, pale malty and citrusy fruity, slightly herbal, hoppy aroma, notes of orange and yellow stone fruit, some grapefruit, Earl Grey tea, bergamot. Taste is mildly bitter, fruity and herbal-leafy hoppy, slightly doughy yeasty and pale malty, hints of apricot, yellow stone fruit, some grapefruit, orange and mandarine, brioche, Earl Grey tea, bergamot.
Minimally creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, a bit imbalanced - OK.

Bottle 50 cl. Has a clear, dark golden color with a smallish off-white head. Distinct Bergamot aroma - lovely. Medium body, very fruity dry, with the Bergamot oil now becoming slightly medicinal. Fairly brutal bitterness. The aroma is great though. 270421
