Big golden lasting head. Hazy amber body with carbonation. Grassy toffee aroma with roasty dusty wild berry notes. Dry-sweet roasty dusty papery taste with grassy metallic notes. Fullish body. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel with some lingering alcohol heat. Dryish alcoholic papery toffee aftertaste with buttery fruit notes. The ending loses it a bit, mainly because of the alcohol. Before that it was a very good bock. (0.75l bottle, wine monopoly Vika, Oslo.)

330ml bottle picked up at Vinmonopolet Vika in Oslo. Clear amber body, two-finger beige head, spotty lacework. Smell of grainy malts, mid-sweet. Brittle caramel in flavour, next to candy sweet. Short lived ending with malts that are more sour than bitter. Drinkable, though (Tromsø, 12.06.2011).

330ml bottle carried all the way back home from Vinmonopolet Vika, Oslo. Has got a super clear, amber-brown body topped by a creamy, fast fading, off-white head. Spotty lace. Caramel malts to the nose, almost candy sweet. The flavour is also very sweet with notes of chocolate and brittle caramel. Hints of bitter malts to the ending. Soft in the mouth with unmasked alcohol. Medium bodied. Has got its moments of joyful drinking (Tromsø, 10.06.2011).

Biggish offwhite head doesn’t last. Coppery body with small-bubbled carbonation. Malty grassy aroma with fruity earthy herbal notes. Dry-sweet buttery grainy strawy taste with herbal earthy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, faintly slick mouthfeel. Dryish earthy vegetable aftertaste with grainy minty notes. This is a pale ale? Tastes like normal eurolager to me. (0.33l bottle, wine monopoly Vika, Oslo.)

Medium beige head. Deep brownish read body with carbonation. Alcoholic bubble gum aroma with strawberry notes. Dry-sweet earthy spicy fruity taste with mealy soy sauce notes. Full-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel with some alcohol heat and slickness. Dryish alcoholic herbal vegetable aftertaste with mealy soy sauce and bubble gum notes. Not very impressive, really. Far too much alcohol and bubble gum. (0.33l bottle, wine monopoly Vika, Oslo.)
