From random 2x Maxima. Smell- weak, roast, malt. Foam- roast, malt, and some bitter notes. Head is medium-large, creamy brown, white color, coffee foam. It sticks to sides and remains as blob as well. Appearance- Clear, dark red, brown color, some very little carbonation. Simple brewer bottle and cap. Taste- roast, caramel, malt, some odd sweetness and I guess it is that cloudberry flavor not sure I like it. (I did not at the start but later got used to it after some snacks, still will leave score as -is) Bit weird, but drinkable.

400ml bottle kindly shared by djoeye. Slowly diminishing fawn-coloured head. Clear back body with a deep ruby shade. Fragile lacing. Smell of almond and raspberries. Almond, dark bread, and mid sour berries to the taste profile. Sweet malt-berry end, short-live. Kind of soft drink impression. Drinkable. (PivotekaH7, Tromsø 02.11.2019).

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
