Bottle, 75cl. It pours a hazy, golden body under a big, creamy white head soon diminished into half a finger height. Some curtains. There’s some fruity sourish notes in the mostly fruity aroma. Pale malts and a yeasty touch too. Yellow apples, grass, some pine cones, canned pineapple and peaches. There’s a faint sourish touch in the flavor too, seems to be intended, or at least not an infection. There’s a light bitterness too, with grass, resiny notes and all the fruityness known from the aroma. Medium body, quite dry, and with a pleasant carbonation level. Long, mostly fruity finish with a little bitterness balancing it off. Overall, I’m not impressed, but it’s sure better than I expected from a pale French microbrewery beer. 141005

Flaske 0,75l fra Vinmonopolet, Bestillingsutvalget. Drukket på ølseminar i Tårnrommet 13 Nov 13. Fargen er lys grapefrukt. Lavt skum med mye lacing. Grei fruktaroma men smaken er flau. Veldig vassen.

Opens with a resounding "PHFT!" that shoots foam in my eyes, but the beer does not gush. Huge white lasting head. Slightly hazy yellow body with light carbonation. Fruity herbal honey aroma with spicy sandalwood and earth notes. Very dry mealy herbal fruity taste with spicy notes. Mid-to-light body. Harsh mealy mouthfeel. Dry, and faintly acidic, metallic wooden aftertaste with fruity spicy notes. This is probably too old, although label says "consume before end 2013", and I recently bought it from Vinmonopolet. Drainpour. Weirdly it does gush slightly when I’m halfway through the glass. (0.75l bottle, wine monopoly web order. Lot no 1303.)

750ml swing-top bottle from Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget. Shared with Elisabeth, Jan Erik, Finn and Stefan. Opens with a good shot and pours a snow white head to a hazy golden body. Wheat fruity aroma, lightly spiced. Sweet and tart fruity flavours. A little tartness to the finish. On an average level (Tromsø 13.11.2013).

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy straw colour and a big, creamy and white head. Pale malt, hay, spices and some lemon. More pale malt and citrus in the flavour along with nice hops and spices in the end. Slick and smooth mouth feel, and has a light bitterness. A fresh, spicy and decent pale lager.
