Our very own Dampen - meaning Steamboat - is reminiscent of the classic Anchor Steam Beer from San Francisco. Following the original lines, Dampen is brewed with lager yeasts at high temperatures. The result is moderate fruitiness from the yeasting process, and a fine malty presence. Dampen evinces a delicate balance of hoppiness and malt, with the hops slightly in the ascendance. German Northern Brewer hops are preferred, tempered with a little American Cascade towards the end of the boil. The resulting brew has a pure, bitter note, combined with a slightly spicy aroma reminiscent of wood, citrus, mint, and blackcurrant. The malt blend includes Pilsner and caramel varieties. Our current Dampen, created for the Fjordsteam Fjordboat Festival in Florø in 2010, quickly became a regular favourite. It is fitting therefore that the label depicts a famous local steamer, DS Atløy. Dampen is an all-purpose table beer that complements a variety of menus, coping especially well with rich or spicy dishes.

Bottle from Førde Ølutsal. Pours a pale amber, with a full, creamy head. Pleasant malty aroma of light caramel/ toffee. Straight forward malty taste, with notes of caramel, and a dry, not very lingering, finish.

Huge offwhite head. Hazy reddish amber body with light carbonation. Earthy mealy peas aroma with herbal notes. Dry-sweetish mealy earthy peas taste with resiny papery notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Light and delicate. Dry-bitter dandelion and vaguely roasty aftertaste with mealy herbal notes. Nice, complex, and drinkable, but perhaps a bit bitter. (0.75l bottle, Meny Grønland, Oslo.)

750 ml bottle. Dim golden body with a big, creamy tan head. Quite mild aroma of malt and fruit, and actually a little hint of acidity. Flavor is fresh and fruity with mild malt, citric, yeast and moderate bitterness. Nice but kind of ordinary.

0.75l bottle #60 @ Baran Cafe, Bergen. Pours a hazy dark orange body with a side sticking thin off-white head leaving nice lacings and some dark yeast sediments. Aromas are some what vague but good hints of cookie-dough, malts and citrus. Tastes really fresh and refreshing with fruity notes and a nice hopy bitterness. Medium carbonated and medium to thin bodied. Really nice for a Norwegian class D-brew (but quite expensive though..)

Flaske 0,5l spandert av Rune under vennetreff hos ham 15 jan 11. Mørk gylden. Aprikosfarget. Uklart. OK kremaktig skum. Svakt fruktig aroma. Smaken dominert av bær. Fin syrlig ettersmak. Godt øl - spesielt når en ser at det kun holder butikkstyrke!
