På kran i bryggeriet 17 Okt 09. Gyldent på farge. Litt uklart. Høyt kremaktig skum. Veldig innbydende fruktig aroma. Rik fruktig smak med innslag av høy. Ikke særlig bitterhet. Langvarig ettersmak med innslag av litt malt. Veldig god!

På kran i bryggeriet 17 Okt 09. Gyldenbrunt på farge. Uklart. Pent kremaktig skum som fester seg til glasset. Duft av citrusfrukter. Litt tam smak men en aner litt banan i det fjerne. Ganske tørr avslutning. Ikke noe typisk hveteøl.

400ml on draught served lightly chilled at Lillehammer Bryggeri. Decent off-white head resting on top of a dark-brown body. Rather rich aroma of roasted, sweet dark malts. The taste follows suit with dark chocolate, roasted coffee and a touch of vanilla. Hints of bitterness kicks in to the end. A nice Norwegian stout to be bottled during 09 (Enjoyed at the brewpub on a Friday eve, 06.02.2009).

400ml on draught at the brewpub. The pour reveals a clear, amber coloured body with a dark-red tint. Thin, but lasting, beige head. Pleasant malt-fruity aroma added by notes of hop resin. Moderate flavoured with brittle caramel on a roasted background. Nice bitter endnotes. Clean tasting and fine drinkability. A perfect partner to a delicious course called Moose in bayer (Lillehammer, 06.02.2009).

400ml served reasonably chilled on tap at the brewpub. The body colour is golden-amber with a slight haze and with a few white floaters on the top. Inviting smell of sweet citrus in the direction of mandarin. Appetising taste of smooth apricot and clementine with malts coming through. Dry bitter ending. Very refreshing and easy to drink. A well brewed rendition of the style and, for the time being, the best pilsener made in Norway (Lillehammer, 06.02.2009).

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a beautiful dark, reddish brown body with a lovely big beige head. A little bit darker, and it would have been a 5 on appearance. There’s lots of fruityness and mocha, chocolate and coffee in both aroma and flavor, really well packed, especially considering it’s 4.6% ABV. The beer finished fruity and roasted, with the chocolate missing. Full body. A truly lovely beer, and the end of a short first (but not last) visit to Lillehammer Bryggeri. A very warming welcome by the staff, and a really friendly attitude during the stay also added joy to the experience, but of course, that’s a place rating issue, and not being considered when rating their beers. I also hope they are able to speed up the plans for bottling their beers, as this was just delicious. (080216)

On tap at the brewpub. A cloudy, orange beer with an off-white head. Lacings. I have to say I had doubts about this one, and I was right. It’s not a bad beer, it just didn’t do it as a hefe for me. The aroma had some bubblegum in the background, as well as some kinda strange fruiytness and some cloves. Not bad at all, just wrong. The flavor was wheaty, with well-chewed bubblegum and some grainyness, but low on banana and citrus, and the cloves were missing. Rather grainy finish with some fruityness. Medium body. It’s a refreshing and drinkable beer, but it’s far from spot on, and I recommend the other beers they make. (080216)

On tap at the Brewpub. A clear, amber pour with an off-white head leaving lacings. Fruity and sweet nose with some toffee, roasted malt, and a nice hop profile. Mostly fruity flavor, but there’s a malty, toffee background to balance it. Medium body. The finish has a lovely fruityness as well, and a nice bitterness. Looking forward to the day this one ends up in the stores. (080216)

On tap at the brewpub, 33cl. I sure was surprised when I took the first sniff of it, as I expected a rather bland, or maybe decent pilsner. There was a lovely fruity aroma, with some notes of pine and citrus. It was quite low on maltyness, at least compared to the hoppyness, and smelled delicious. The pour had a rather dark golden color, was clear even though it was unfiltered, and had a nice, dense off-white head. on top. In the mouth, the malty flavors was more on level with the hops, and some sweetness was detected too. It was quite creamy in the mouth, with a medium fullness. This very sessionable pilsner is for sure the best pilsner in Norway at the moment!. (080216)
