Bottle @ the brewpub. Slightly unclear deep red body under a decent pale pink head. Nice and fresh aroma of red berries with a hint of yeast. Taste is fresh and fruity as well with a fine balance between sweetness and acidity. The berry tastes natural and fresh with a mix of different red berries like cherry (actually blackthorn in this batch), blackcurrants, raspberries and blueberry (regardless of any or some of these berries was a part of this brew). Medium to light bodied with the same fruity aftertaste. A really nice and refreshing threat for a warm and sunny day out at Merdø island. The beer is not amazing by itself, but it feels amazing to have one of these at just this location.

Bottle @ the brewery. Unclear golden body under a nice, tan head. Aroma is malty with bread and yeast. Taste is slightly refreshing with medium sweet malt, bread, fruity yeast and moderate bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. Quite plain and straight forward but tasty and food friendly.

Tap @ the brewpub August 2020. This batch where 7% ABV. Hazy orange body under a fine, dense white head. Hoppy aroma with ripe citric fruit, peach and apricot. Taste is rather sweet and soft malty with ripe citric fruit, peach, apricot, decent bitterness and some alcohol in aftertaste. Fine body and long lasting fruity aftertaste. A fine classic IPA with a malt base, hoppy bitterness and fruity hops. Both god balance and solid in taste, highly enjoyable. Seems to be a quite different beer that previous rating from 2019.

On tap at the brewpub. It's an almost clear one, golden in color and with a dense finger thick white head. Curtains. The aroma has an almost funky pale malts touch, but it's mostly on the fruity side. Mostly fruity flavor too, with pale malts as a backdrop. Some hay and grass. Medium to full body and a soft carbonation. Quite dry. Fruity, lightly grainy finish. Easy drinkable, quenching, but far from the same quality as the IPA. 190809

On tap at the brewpub. It's an unclear orange colored beer with a finger thick white head. Cute lacing. The aroma is rather fruity and piney, in a way that made me think white IPA at first. Some tropical fruits, grapefruit, notes of orange and a wee touch of pale malts. The flavor is hop driven, with pine cones, grapefruit, some passionfruit and lime, and a touch of resin towards the finish. Full to medium body and a soft carbonation. Fruity finish. The beer lead my thoughts to Belgium both in aroma and flavour, but I still guess this should be considered a regular IPA. Nice. 190809
