Can from Nancy: pours light copper with white head. Aroma is piny, rounded fruitiness. Taste is lightly bitter, rounded fruity sweetness. Fine for what it is.

Can from Nancy: pours hold with white head that leaves ugly foam lumps. Aroma is peppery, rounded fruitiness, yeast. Taste is lightly bitter, spicy. Pretty clean. Not a bad beer or a great one.

26/4/2025. Can bought from Yutaka Shop online. Pours slightly hazy pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, candy sugars, ripe fruits, yeasty notes. Fairly sweet with light bitterness. Medium body, smooth, soft carbonation. Quite drinkable.

Aromas are roast, molasses, dark malt, tobacco, and a hint of anise. Flavors are similar to nose, roast comes out more add in a bit of coffee. Thankfully loses the anise and the molasses. Really good. Full round body with slightly soft carbonation which suits the style. And not overly sweet. I could drink more of these.

Can from Gulating. Slightly unclear yellow golden with a medium sized white head. Aroma has Yuzu fruit, some citric fruit, minerals and spices. Flavor is kinda refreshing fruity like aroma, hint of lemon, minerals, spices and perhaps a touch of sour red berries. Medium body and average aftertaste. Fair enough. I was probably a bit drunk when sampling this, I have no memories from this, just my notes and will probably try it again if possible.

Aroma of roasted malt, lots of chocolate, milky, some smokey notes, hint of coffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light to moderate roasty bitter finish. A bit sweet and cloying, but definitely interesting.
