Bottle. Dark golden beer with nice head. Aroma of hops and fruits. Lovely fruity, (grapefruit?)malty taste with long bitterness. A very nice beer that I could drink both as a session beer and as a beer to enjoy a bottle of in the evening, if it only was available in Norway. Rating: 6-3-8-4-15-3.6. 050909

Bottle, 12oz. It pours a clear, golden body under a finger-thick, dense, off-wite head that lasts. Citrus and generic fruits in the aroma with pine cones, malty sweetness in the back. The flavor is a tad sweet, but when properly chilled the bitter, citrusy, piney hops are brought far enough forward to take control, leaving the caramel sweetness in the back acting as a balancing agent. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated, although a bit high maybe. The finish is piney and bitter, like the peel of a lemon. Overall, a nice, easy-drinking, tasteful and quenching beer I still miss on the Norwegian market. 100816

Small, dark-beige head; very dark, nearly opaque red-black body. Deep, sweet licorice aroma with hints of hops. Taste is strong, roasty, and smooth, with a nice, bitter finish. A good porter, but not as complex as I might wish. Very drinkable, though. (0.33l bottle self-poured in lager glass.)

Draft, at InField’s, Chicago Loop. Sampled 2/25/2004. Good to see this style-setting beer at more places in my neck of the woods. Pours an appealing amber body under a thin pale ale head. Originally had a mild taste, but I felt that I was "tasting" the glass more (maybe it wasn’t rinsed correctly), but the fine balance of hop and malt came through. Definite northwestern hop profile with spice, bitterness and a light fruity touch. A good, toasty malt blend that’s just a little sticky on the palate. Leaves a nice aftertaste and a little alcohol warmth to enjoy afterward. Not "extreme" by any means, but an excellent session beer.

Heavy, highly malty IPA, but those hops are their in abundance (as expected from this brewery) - looks, smells and tastes kind of like a lighter version of Bigfoot, which is a good thing - huge malt backbone makes this heavy and almost sticky - most certainly needs to be imbibed slowly.

Bright golden colour. Crisp body where malt undertones support a moderate bitterness and a light fruity hoppiness. Very clean and evenly balanced. Simple, but well-executed.

A nicely balanced Porter - medium bodied and medium carbonated - sweet malts with an aftertaste of hop bitterness - caramel and roasted malts with a hint of licorice - smokey, too. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Slightly creamy aroma, some light citrus and faint whiff of hops, golden beer that drinks like a lager. Overly carbonated and fairly tasteless compared with the rest of their range 5.0 re rate on tap Beer Shop Folkestone. Clear gold lasting white Some character to this. Simple lager but some nice hops on the finish

Bottled. U.S. Beer 25 of 31 for American Beer Month! Found this at Trader Joe’s along with their store-brand beers. Pours a little too much foam, but that subsides quickly to a nice, rocky head. Underneath is pretty pale, lightly cloudy. Smell is nice, just a little hoppy. So it the taqste. Light on malts, a bit of wheat zest, and a nice hop bitterness, more than in other wheat beers. Fizzy, leaves a little zing on the lips. Very nice drinkin.’
