500ml bottle, batch 101, from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Decent pearl white head lasting over a hazy, apricot coloured body. Crocheted lacing. Fresh and inviting aromas of peach and grapefruit. Flavoured with pine, ripe citrus and juicy malts. Drying bitter tail. Soft in the mouth. Fine bodied. Like it (Tromsø 22.01.2016).

On tap at Bergen Ølfestival. It’s a dark brown beer topped by a dense, light tan head leaving lacings. The aroma is mostly on the caramel and toffee side, with roasted malts, coffee and some butterscotch. Not much chili or berries to be found. The same goes for the flavor, the additions just lurks in the background, but fortunately the butterscotch isn’t as evident in the flavor as in the aroma. And of course, you get used to it. Full-bodied and quite dry. Overall, sure a fine brew, pity there were some butterscotch going on. 150906

On tap at Bergen Ølfestival. It’s a hazy, yellow-orange coored beer topped by a small, white head. Banana, apple and a generic fruityness in the aroma, with a light breadyness and some sourish notes. It’s medium bodied and dry on the palate, not really tart in any way, with a light hoppy flavor as well as banana, apples and some bread. Long finish. A refreshing beer, but too much on the hefeweizen side I think. 150609

0,75 l flaske, hjemme sammen med sønn nr.2: lett uklar oransjegylden med højt skum som varer og varer - antyder en overkarbonering, og det stemmer når ølet treffer ganen. Men etter hvert kommer de ulike aroma- og smakeelementene til sin fulle rett, her finner jeg krydder (pepper og ingefær), solvarmt høy, røde bær, appelsin og maltsødme. Meget behagelig bitterhet i den lange ettersmaken. En kompleks, interessant, annerledes og meget drikkbar øl. Den varte gjennom hele MI4, takk til Håkon for en kjempefin julegave.

Bottle. A dark brown beer topped by a dense, finger-thick dark beige head. The aroma is rather roasted, with licorice, burnt notes, some coffee grit and dark chocolate, licorice and a certain citrusy, piney hoppyness. It’s full-bodied, smooth and quite bitter on the palate, semi-dry, and with flavors of roasted and burnt malts, dark chocolate and coffee grit as a backdrop for a nice addition of piney, citrusy malts. Lasting finish balancing bitterness, roasted malts and hoppy flavors in a nice way. Far from the traditional Christmas beer, but it’s a fine brew indeed. 151229

Big light brown creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet, dark sugar, dark malts, minerals, dark fruits, grass, butterscotch, vanilla sugar. Taste is slightly dry mineraly, weeds, minerals, dark malts, vanilla sugar, bark, dark sugar, grass. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh and watery mouthfeel. Not my cup of tea...
