65cl bottle shared by Arve_Christian - thanks a lot! Pours clear golden with a white head. Surprisingly vinous aroma of white wine grapes, some herbal notes, mild grassy and malty with hints of sour fruits. Surprisingly grape dominated flavour, but well balanced and with a nice acidity and bitterness. Tasty one!

(Bottle) Clear golden amber with good white head. Nice crisp citrusy aroma - grapefruit with pine notes and some sweeter floral or stone fruit hints. Medium body with good carbonation. Taste has lovely fresh citrus start and quickly develops hoppy bitterness that grows into a a sustained decently bitter finish. There are some biscuity malty undertones from the mid palate. A very decent pale ale.

A strongish stout from the Land of the Long Goodbye after which I will presumably require a Bug Sleep. I’ll stop now. Small growler. Dark brown with a lovely beige head that lasts well. Aroma of sticky bread crusts, milk chocolate, pine, slight but vibrant tropical fruit notes. Was going to say surprisingly vibrant, but they’re all over the taste, pushing mocha and bread into the background. Sweet with quite a lot of piney bitterness at the end. Maybe a bit too much, really. Some Sichaun pepper too. Tasty but not entirely harmonious.

650 ml bottle. Slightly hazy orange body with a medium sized off-white head. Nice, strong hoppy aroma, mostly pine and grass with citric fruit in the background. Flavor is medium sweet malt, some caramel, green pepper, some fruit and strong grassy hop bitterness. Well balanced body for the hoppy style and long bitter aftertaste. Not super complex, but very refreshing, quaffable and rather moorish. Like it a lot.

650ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Vika. Shared with Finn and his neighbours next door. Pours a fair, off-white head to a cloudy apricot coloured body. Peach and grapefruit on the nose, hints of dough. Taste of dried and fresh citrus fruits leading to a mid-sweet fruity end. Soft in the mouth. Hidden alcohol. Easy to drink. Pretty nice (Tromsø 04.11.2014).
