26.06.2017, sample bottle @ home:
25.06.2017, sampled straight from the tank during bottling @ the brewery:
Nice fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head, slightly hazy. Aroma is fresh and slightly sweet fruity, masses of passionfruit juice, citrus, grass, passionfruit stones, tropical juice, hints of honey. Taste is fresh and slightly sweet fruity, passionfruit juice, grass, hay, passionfruit stones, citrus, tropical juice, hints of honey and some toast and knekk far back. Fresh citrusy mouthfeel, nice carbonation. Lovely stuff, and dangerously easy drinking...

On tap @ Bakgården Både &, Kristiansand. Unclear Deep reddish to amber body with a small but dense, pale pink head. Aroma feels like sweet dessert cherries (the one from mon cheri chocolate) with just a faint hint of honey. Flavor is very sweet, cherries, some marzipan, honey and just a little berries type acidity. Full bodied with a tickling type of carbonation and long lasting aftertaste of sweet cherries. Very nice in smaller proportions but not possible to drink much of this. And I don’t think that’s the intention either.

Golden color with no head. Fine intensity in the aroma with some fruity notes. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Sweet without being cloying. Fruity, mild honey, floral and mellow tropical flavor. Nice easy drinkable mead. Unusual refreshing.

Pink/red color with no head. Nice fresh raspberry aroma with a fine intensity. Medium to full body and a soft carbonation level. Sweet without being cloying. An unusual refreshing raspberry flavor in this one. Very well blended. Mild honey and fruity also. WoW.

05.06.2017, a half-full 0,5l bottle (tapped from a keg 3 days ago) @ home, courtesy of ClubGonzo:
No head due to the situation, it’s supposed to be medium carbonated, hazy yellow-ish color. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish floral, weeds, minerals, sap, sour grass, honey, herbs, hay, fresh wood, sawdust. Taste is dry sour-ish mineraly, sorrel, minerals, unripe berries, hay, flowers, grass, citrus acid, fruit salt, herbs. Medium bitterness, dry sour-ish mouthfeel. Even though it’s not supposed to be like this (the keg has gone sour), it’s actually kind of nice and interesting as it is. Hopefully they can manage to recreate this on purpose sometime, I wouldn’t mind having more of this in the summer sun...
