330ml bottle from Gulating Ølutsalg, Tromsø. A filmy layer leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Near-clear golden body. Quite inviting smell of leafy hops with vague malty sweetness beneath. Ripe hop fruity flavours with a mild caramel touch. Decent bitter ending. Nice. (Shared with friends, Magnebu, Sommarøy 07.09.2018).

Bottle, one year before bbd. Pours slightly hazy yellow, with a big creamy head. Aroma is pleasant floral hops, with a light zest and some peachy notes, as well as malts with bread, toffee and honey. Medium body, with average to fizzy carbonation. Flavour is hoppy notes, with bitter herbal citrus and floral notes, as well as malts with cereals.

0.33l bottle. This one pours a cloudy looking kinda deep dark orange colored body, lots and lots of small sediments and floaters in the glass with a small quickly islandy light bubbly white top. Nose vise this has tones of nice ripe fruits. Almost a little tropical and sweet. Mild caramel and a slightly nut earthy hint. Yeah, not horrible. It actually tastes quite alright this one. Mild oily in the mouth and it's gentle on the carbonation. Sweetish red fruity flavors, but there's also a balancing hoppy almost grassy bitterness. Yeah, a good amount of flavor in this. Kinda floral in a way. I quite enjoyed this. 30.08.2014

330 ml bottle, from some grocery store. ABV is 4.7%. Deep golden colour, large white head. The aroma has notes of fruity American hops, also piney hints. The flavour is perhaps a tad more dry than sweet, decent malty body for its strength, and is otherwise dominated by piney and grapefruity American hops. Bitter finish. Decent beer.
