500ml bottle bought at Eide Handel. Shared with Magne, Per, and Leif. Pours a clear amber body, stable white head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Moderate aromas of fruity wheat. Tastes quite nice with moments of mid-sweet malts, citrus peels and a distant spicy vibe. Mid-dry fruity ending, bittersweet. Satisfying. (Sommarøy 20.08.2021).

Gold with a frothy, white head. Grassy aroma. Floral tones. Caramel. Taste has a modest resin bitterness on an empty base. A citric/lemon zest flavor afterwards. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, watery texture. Workmanlike and uninspired but quite drinkable.

500ml bottle; 5.6% ABV, BB 28th Oct 2021. Drank at home on 26th Nov 2020. Clean amber bronze body, off-white topping. Malty molasses rule this semi-sweet brew, dark berry hints mid-sip, but it's all about the malts.
