A golden ale with tropical fruit flavours and a distinctive hop aroma. We set out to create a great tasting gluten free beer that everyone can enjoy and in 2017 we improved the recipe not compromising on the aroma or taste. We think you'll love it even more !

August 2017: 500 ml bottle conditioned, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.6%. Golden colour, large white head. Nice malty aroma, hints of earthy hops, no sign of Citra and tropical fruits. Comes through a bit more as the beer warms up a little. The fairly dry flavour is first malty, then some citrussy notes that helps the drinkability. No tropical fruits though. Okay.

Bottled 500ml (Prisma Itäkeskus, BB 02/2019)
Amber colour, slightly hazy, medium-sized white head and lace. Grassy and a bit grainy aroma. Suprisingly very similar to Mischief. Light-bodied. Pale malty, grassy, even a bit grainy. Not much gain from Citra. Boring.
