330ml bottle, thanks to Finn for sharing. Steady white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Warm golden body, slightly misty. Moderate smell of dried fruits. Apricot to the taste buds with grainy malts beneath. Mid-sweet malty ending with discreet fruity bitterness. Okay pilsner. (Tromsø 14.06.2019).
