Flaske delt ombord på Fridtjofen, RBHD-treff aug-15: uklar gylden med tett hvitt skum som varer til bunns. Citronaroma som minner litt om oppvaskmidler. Smaker visne citroner. Kort ettersmak med besk citrus og litt sødme. Didn’t rock me. Flasken var bb. 090315.

Bottle shared in London. Wow, I’ve had this beer for more than two years, and it is such a thrill to finally drink it. Pours clear gold with a big, big frothy white head. The nose has wood, light oxidation, marmalade. Medium sweet flavor with bitter wood, grass, husky grains. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly sticky sweet on the finish, with more bitter grass and wood, hints of oxidation, light dried caramel, more marmalade. Very interesting. Kind of like a session barley wine.
