On tap at Trondhjem Mikrobryggeri. Pours a clear light amber colour with a small off-white head. Fruity aroma of apricot, grass and some barnyard and sulfur. The flavour still has some barnyard followed by apricot, grassy hops and grapefruit. Has a slick mouth feel, light body and medium bitterness. A decent, fruity but infected APA.

Bottle. An unclear, orange colored beer with a nice off-white head. Aroma wise it feels a bit unfinished, sort of yeasty, but it has a pleasant piney, light pineapple-ish hop scent. Some pale malts, biscuity, in the back. It’s medium bodied and semi-dry on the palate, with a surprisingly high level of bitterness, especially considering the brewery. Rather effervescent, soon making me burp, but it’s not at an alarming level of carbonation. Not at all. Probably bottled a tad early this one. Pine cones, orange zest and grapefruit as well in the flavor, with some malty notes in the back. Lasting bitter and piney finish with some orange zest. Overall, yet another beer I suspect left the maturing tank too early, but it seems the recipe works. Sure decent. 161230

Flaske fra polets nettbutikk, hjemme på 3.juledag: brunsvart med flott skum som varer. Spennende aroma av sjokolade, citrus, furunål og litt lakris. Og smaken innfrir med de samme inntrykk, fint balansert og med lekker munnfølelse. Mild og behagelig bitterhet komplementerer dette. En riktig god juleøl, til å nytes +/- 6 måneder fra høytiden.

500 ml bottle. Unclear golden body with a big, creamy white head. Pretty intense aroma of butterscotch. Flavor is mainly caramel and butterscotch. Undrinkable, down the train and totally meh.

500ml bottle, 8 % abv, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Deep back and dark red in body colour. Low, remaining, fawn-coloured head leaving crocheted lacing on the tulip glass. Attractive aromas of caramel malts and pine. Well blended taste profile of chocolate and caramel malts offset by red oranges and pine. Nicely roasted, mid-dry bitterness to a long-lived finish. Hidden alcohol. Fine bodied. An enjoying Yuletide ale on a Friday eve (Tromsø 16.12.2016).

Flaske (best før 02.12.17) fra Gulating Stavanger, hjemme etter endt brygging: brunsvart med imponerende højt skum, nesten for mye av det gode - det stenger for aromaen, i tillegg til at overkarboneringen hemmer smaksinntrykkene. Aroma: litt røstet malt og ganske mye humle (furunål, visne solbær og jordtoner). Slank smak hvor humlen fortsatt dominerer over malten, men når temperaturen i glasset har steget en del fornemmer jeg kaffe- og sjokoladetoner. Fin tørrhet i ettersmaken.

Flaske fra Gulating Stavanger, delt med Ovesen etter endt brygging: fin rødlig ravfarge og flott skum som varer. Deilig krydret (kongerøkelse) aroma med citrus, bær, lys sjokolade og mørk sirup i tillegg. Elegant og balansert smak. Akkurat passe krydret - fin balanse med sødme og bitterhet. En nydelig juleøl i butikkstyrke.
