Dark brown color. Aroma of caramel and roasted malt, maybe coffee, and a light sourness. The mouthfeel is very dry, medium weak, with a flavor between the dark caramel, the roasted malt and light coffee. There is something wrong here.

Hazy golden color. The aroma has a strong toffee imprint and some hop. Medium body strength, with a quite good flavor of malt, toffee and hop (quite aromatic), reminding me some other good English Golden Ale. The final has still some malt with the biterness, but strangely the hop aroma is gone. This one as well is a bit grassy, but lightly. Good.

Light, hazy blond color. The hop aroma is hidden by the ceral and hay aroma, not very professional. The body is medium weak, with some dry flavor of malt, some wet cereals, grassy, with a strong hopping and a quite long ending bitterness, with Saaz notes. It may be better.

On tap at the brewpub. Dark ruby, clear beer with a small, off-white head. Roasted aroma with fruity hops in the background, as well as a wee hint of molasses. Roasted flavor, with some caramel-sweetness. Not much hop there. Medium to full body. The finish is roasted, with a little fruityness, but could use more power. The best of the Bryggen beers so far. I find all the beers a bit thin and not as powerful as I would like them to be, but maybe they would go better with some of the food they serve? Or at least on the patio on a hot summer day. (070513)

On tap at the brewpub. Clear, copper body with a minimal off-white head. Hoppy nose, both fruity and piney, at the start, followed by caramel and maltyness. Balanced but weak flavor, maybe a bit on the fruity side, with slightly roasted malt and caramel. Medium body and a fruity finish. As the other beers from Bryggen, it’s quaffable and quite nice, but they tend to be a bit thin and anonymous. (070513)
