Bottle @ Håndverkeren. Almost clear deep golden body with a small but lacing off-white head. Nice citric fruity aroma with peaches, some caramel malt and fruit candy. Rather sweet, malty, caramel, fruity like aroma with fruity and resin hops, pleasant bitterness. Fine balanced body with a pleasant aftertaste. Nice malty IPA that’s both sweet and bitter.

Bottle @ Haandverkeren. More than less clear, pale golden body with a nice white head. Mild fruity aroma with hint of pale malt and slightly floral. Flavor is light, pale malt, some citric fruit and moderate bitterness. Body feels a bit thin and rather light in aftertaste. Drinkable NA beer, but I suspect this bottle might be e bit old as I did not find much of the fruity aromas described from some of the previous ratings.

Bottle. Unclear golden body with a small white head. Medium malty aroma with grain and some fruity yeast. Flavor is sweet and smooth malty with a fruity touch, mild grassy bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste with soft malt, moderate bitterness and a floral touch. Decent but not very interesting.

Bottle. Dark brown body with a moderate sized, dense beige head. Aroma has roasted dark malt, caramel and quite much chocolate. Flavor is medium sweet, roasted dark malt, chocolate, some caramel, a bit nutty and some kind of dry bitterness. A bit thin bodied and pleasant aftertaste in the same direction as the rest, perhaps a bit dryer than the main flavor. Feels a bit in the crossing between a Brown Ale and a Porter, nice and food friendly but I miss the little something extra. Becomes a bit average. Aroma is the best part.

Bottle from Gulating as Risholmen Sushi ale. Hazy orange golden body with a very thin and small white head that fades right away. Aroma has peach, ginger and chewing gum. Flavor is medium sweet, peach, fruit, slightly mineral, light ginger, chewing gum and ripe citric fruit. A bit thin and watery in body with aftertaste in the same direction. Quite unbalanced and not very interesting really, despite the idea of ginger and Sorachi hops. I honestly don't think I would chose this together with a Sushi, but this might just be a matter of taste. As a beer in general this was not a hit in my book. The idea is fun, but the result become just boring. A regular goose or a pure Geuze wwithout any kind of bulshit may be my perfect Sushi beer.

Bottle. Slightly unclear pale golden body with a small but dense white head. Aroma is light citric fruity, lactic and hint of coriander and minerals. Nice and fresh taste, balanced mils acidity, fruity, spicy and minerals like aroma. Medium body and some more minerals in aftertaste. Quite gentle and a bit subtle in the start, almost a bit anonymous, but it’s getting better after a little while.

Bottle. Slightly unclear golden body with a nice white head. Mild fruity aroma that feels a bit sweet and Belgian in a way. Flavor is sweet, mild pale malt, spicy yeast and quite much like an average Belgium blond. Medium body and light aftertaste. Decent.

Bottle. Unclear orange body with a medium sized white head. Aroma feels like a bit sweet pale malt with rather much spicy yeast and a floral touch. Flavor is relatively sweet for the style, a bit subdued malt profile, kinda fruity, spicy, yeast and slightly harsh floral/grassy bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. Drinkable but I miss some "Saison softness", feels a bit raw and unfinished somehow.

Regular consumed as Salmekyst at different occasions. A very nice and refreshing session IPA with a fine grapefruit, passion fruit and a little bit of grapes in aroma. Balanced flavor with medium sweetness from pale malt, lots of fruity hops (when fresh) and good bitterness. Impressive taste and balance for only 4,5% ABV.

Growler. Unclear golden body with a fine white head. Fine, distinct and refreshing aroma of citric fruit, grapefruit, passion fruit, mango, grapes, hint of pine and some fruity yeast. Flavor has the same complex hoppy fruitiness, grapefruit, passion fruit, mango, white wine grapes, soft pale malt and balanced bitterness. Medium body and quite long lasting aftertaste of the same complex fruity bitterness. A very nice, really tasty and super refreshing session IPA, nothing that could offend anyone and still a bit different from the regular bunch of session IPA’s. It’s a quite big amount of summer going on here. I guess it’s important to have it quite fresh to get the best experinece here, but today this is close to amazing at only 4,5%
