Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Pours a very cloudy - almost muddy - deep orangey golden with an off-white head. Sweetish aroma of fruit and a distinct yeastiness. Medium body with sweetish caramel and fruit, again with loads of yeast and a distinct bitterness. Appears like some sort of Belgo-American Pale Ale hybrid. And not a particularly great one. 180808

500 ml bottle, batch #130, at Parkteatret’s "Beer Day", Oslo. ABV is 6.0%. There are rumours that this really is the very same beer as HaandBryggeriet Påskegodt, but I find that hard to believe - Sen Sommer Ale is sweeter than I remember Påskegodt to have ever been. A side-by-side tasting is needed to settle that question, methinks. Hazy amber to orange colour, moderate head. Lovely aroma of fruity hops. Sweet flavour (slightly too much sweetness) with plenty of fruity hops. Moderately bitter finish.

Cloudy orange with a big and lasting white head. Aroma is elegantly citrusy Belgian, pineapple, orange, tangerine, and touch of banana. Dry fruity flavour, delivering slightly less than the aroma promised. Damn good use of weizen yeast if that’s the case. Or a damn good blonde Belgian.

Bottle. Frothy off-white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Too much setiment. Moderate malty amd heavy hoppy aroma. Grassy and herbie notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Spicey. Oily palate. Well-brewed but not a beer that I would try again.

50 cL bottle, batch 130. Pours murky orange to brown with a lacing off-white head. Orange and grapefruity with a mild pinewood note but also quite dominant Belgian yeast. Belgian yeasty flavour. Light spiced and hoppy bite following. Decent caramel malt base to counterbalance this. Smooth and slight yeasty finish with a vague liqourice note.
