5.5

Can. Burnt caramel, in an aftificial way. Toffee, coffee grit and a decent sweetness. Nuttiness chiming in, like stale walnuts and not-too-good pecans. Okay, there's some kind of Christmas feeling here, but not in the way I'd prefer. 445410 260220

Can. Super-tropical, super-citrusy, with a generic fruityness in the back. Some maltyness too. Unfortunately the fruityness feels like it's some kind of artificial addition, not coming from the hops, but it's a quite fine one anyway. Refrshing and tasteful. 747414 260220

Can. There's a hint of yoghurt-sourness here, but mostly fruity sour. Raspberry and some generic fruityness. Wasn't expecting much from this, but it's a quite decent one, although kind of artificial. Refreshing. 646411 260220

Can. Lightly yoghurt-sour, but mostly fruity. Generic fruityness, with some artificial pear in the back. Bread notes. Not really my kind of beer, but quite refreshing anyway. 646311 260220

Can from Gulating. Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma has some malt with distinct brown cheese/caramel. Taste is smooth with malt and brown cheese, medium sweet lactose and moderate bitter. Without knowing this is brown cheese, it could easily go for mild caramel or toffee. Actually, a pretty balanced pastry beer at only 4,7 % ABV. Unusually, fun and quite drinkable.

Can from Gulating. Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma is mild malty with no sign of choco. Taste is also on the malty side, medium sweet with a slightly sour touch and hint of some kind of bitterness, not necessary from the hops. Medium body with average aftertaste. Not the best or interesting beer from this calendar.
