Bottle. (#1). Clear golden with large, white head. Extremely agressive carbonation. It should be more cloudy, but is seems like the carbonation pushes all haziness to the top. The head deminishes rather quickly. Aroma is definately weissbier. Too much metallic smell, though. Taste is nice, wheat, banana, citrus in the beginning, slowly fading into a more pronounced citric and spicey finish. A little thin, but very fizzy mouthfeel. Shall not complain though, it is the only Norwegian weissbier brewed at the moment, as Nøgne Ø has paused brewing it until the new brewery is running. (051006)

Bottled, (#4) Pours a hazy, golden colour, with a large, small-bubbled, beige head. Aroma is mostly fruity with malt. Quite mild taste for an IPA. Citric/orange tastes dominates at start. Hop-bitterness comes stronger at the end, but not as biting as I shold wish for. More an english IPA than the american type i for some reason expected. (051006)

Bottled at RBESG. Golden colour. Aroma of banana and caramel. Sweet with rounded mouthfeel, restrained fruitiness. Despite it’s esters it feels straightforward, but also refreshing and pleasant. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bavaria on 22 Sep 2008 at 10:57 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: Bottled at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Cloudy mustard yellow. Spicy nose with a mere touch of banana. Sweet with clean, somewhat spritzy mouthfeel. Light-medium bodied, a slight bit sharp with restrained wheat flavours. No bitterness. beers with this clean mouthfeel does not work overly well as refreshers.

Bottled at RBESG. Cloudy amber. Vague orange aroma overpowered by alcohol. Sweet and solidly malty with notes of peach and clean mouthfeel. The hops add bitterness but not much aroma and flavour. Simple.

(Bottle 50 cl) Golden, blond beer with a small, white head. Nose full of yeast and perhaps a dash of coriander. Very malty, taste of yeast and citrus. Soft, smooth and rather pleasant. Typical Belgian Blond Ale. 120805

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, orangey golden with a small, creamy head. Slightly unpleasant phenolic aromas. Malty with a weird tartness and a dry, rough, bitter finish. No real pleasure. 120805
