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 !

Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish tropical fruit and gooseberry aftertaste with metallic notes. Nice, drinkable, has character. (0.5l bottle, from Meny Strømmen Storsenter.)

Flaske 500ml fra Kjeller 5. Aprikosfarget. Mer og mer uklar. Lavt luftig skum som daler sakte og blir nesten helt borte. God, dempet fruktaroma. Epler. Smaken er syrlige epler. Blir litt tørr etter hvert. Bra tørsteslukker.

500ml bottle bought at Kjeller 5. Rocky off-white head to a cloudy dark coloured body. Crocheted lacing to the glassware. Bread and floral hops on the nose, mild and mid-sweet. Flavours of citrus together with pale malts. Subdued bittersweet tail. Medium to thin bodied. Anonymous. True to its name (shared with friends, Tårnrommet, Tromsø 15.12.2014).

500ml bottle: BBD Aug 15. Poured into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ badged pint vase at home on 12th Nov 14. Clear golden body with a thin and retreating white head. Mild citrus bent to the fruity aroma, very little maltiness in the nose or taste. Dry, hop bitter, with a slight grapefruit twang to the flavour. Decent enough, but similar to plenty of the golden, citrusy leaning beers around the UK at the moment.

Bottle. It pours an almost clear body, golden in color and with a dense, off-white head leaving lacings. The aroma has a nice fruityness, with some peppery hints and citrus peel. Lemon coming stronger after a while. Some pale malts in the flavor, a hint of caramel, and quite a lot of citrusy fruityness. There’s a fine bitterness too, and some peppery hints. Medium body, quite dry. Lasting finish. Feels more like a saison than a bitter this one, nice is it anyway. 140927

500ml bottle. Clear gold amber colour, foam white head leaving lots of lacing and aroma of malt & fruity citrus hop. Taste is bready malt caramel with biscuity notes and earthy metallic citrusy hop bitterness. Slightly creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite OK.
