Seriously crazy head. Loads of wit character. Coriander. Clove. A little hot on the malt. Should be overcarbonated. Drinkable. Not bad

Bottle (from Stockmann, Tallinn). Pours golden with whiteish head. The head stays for a long time time. Aroma is sweetness, ginger, fruits, citrus. Flavor is sweet, ginger, malt, fruits, citrus, lemon. Body is thin. Finish is slightly citric bitter. Overall: ok, somewhat dull, but doesn’t offend. I would really prefer more body tho.

(Bottle, 0.5 l - BBE Aug 2015, at Viking XPRS, 20150926) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had herbalness, grass and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were herbalness, fruitiness, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A too herbal brew for my taste. Not bad.

500ml bottle conditioned: drank at home on 11th Sep 2015. Poured slowly into a UK pint sleeve. Straw blonde with a slight haze, on top a full white blanket of foam. Could have been a chill haze because I think I over cooled it. Not a lot going on in the nose or flavourings, refreshing enough, but lacks oomph and depth for a 5% ABV ale. Mild, or subtle hop presence depending on your stance, just a bit bland for me.

Flaske delt ombord på Fridtjofen, RBHD-treff aug-15: brunsvart med bveige, storboblet skum. Aroma og smak preget av røstet malt og kaffe, noe bær og et snev av appelsin. Halvtørr, slank og myk. Den balanserte ettersmaken bidrar til at den er svært lettdrikkelig. I tynneste laget for en stout? Ihvertfall ikke rich and creamy som etiketten forkynner.

Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours cloudy gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, grainy, wheat, grass, cracker and dough. The taste is crisp, bitter, earthy, toasted grain, creaminess, spicy ginger and some cheesecake. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. A simple wheat beer. Not a whole lot to it. OK at best.
