On tap at Gaasa, Oslo. Slightly hazy golden with a small white head. Fruity aroma with lightly yeasty notes, citrus, pineapple and malt. Lightly sour with some bitterness in the finish. Sour and citric aftertaste with hints of apples. Quite nice and refreshing on a sunny afternoon in the backyard of Gaasa. (2012-06-22)

Hazy golden colour with a white head. A nice acidic (lemon?) and fruity (mango?) aroma. Milde moderate sweet flavour. Also acidic and fruity. A mix between lemon and mango. Nice refreshing beer.

Refrigerated can from JoePeesie brewed on date November 9, 2012 poured into a shaker. Pours hazy golden with small white head that dissapates quickly. Some small bubble lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and light herbal aroma (poppy). Taste is herbal (poppy seeds), off bread taste, some grass, hint of pepper, and little taste in the finish. Tastes old, I don’t think I would like this even if it were fresh.

Draught @ CBC ’12
Aroma has citron and some wheat. Feels like one of those witbiers with low alcohol percentage. Flavour has citrus, wheat and some semi‐fruity hops. Too thin and watery, especially when looking at the ABV.
