1 US pint can, from Vinmonopolet Stavanger Hinna. Collab with Marto Brewing Co. ABV is 8.0%. Reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of lightly toasted malts and piney hops. The flavour is first malty and moderately sweet with some berry notes, followed by distinct piney and grapefruity hops. Fairly bitter finish.

16 oz can generously given to me by Jack. The pour is a cloudy orange golden with a white small head that falls flat almost immediately. The aroma is mango tangerine fruit, along with a mild tartness. The taste is the fruit flavors, apricot, tangerine, coconut and the mango lingers, all with a bright tartness that complements and doesn't overpower. The palate is light bodied with basically flat carbonation, all the fruit tart and a slightly muddled yeast finish. Decent, does what it advertises. Thanks for all these beers, Jack.

Light and refreshing, clean and crisp. Citrus, some mild florals, cornbread, yummy. Perfect for sauna.

16 oz can generously given to me by Jack. The pour is a clear copper golden with a smaller light tan head. The aroma is cracker grain malt, soft toast, and a touch of herbal. The taste is clean malt, the cracker, grain and toast of the nose, chewy, finishing with a soft floral sweetness and the herbal. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and the floral herbal finish. Dry and easy drinking. Nice Dunkel, thanks Jack.
