On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. Peach, tropical fruityness, with hints of pale malts. Dry, good bitterness. Refreshing, nothing more. 646414 260806

330 ml can, from Coop Extra Judaberg. ABV is 4.3%. Clear pale golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of pilsener malts, newmown grass, flowers and honey. Light bodied as expected. The flavour is not too sweet, and has some noticeable bittering hops. Could have been worse.

330ml can, shared with Pål. A white tophead over a clear late straw coloured body, dotted spots on the glass. Very modest smell of pale malts, mid-dry. Rather tasteless, a note pale malts. Drying close, thin and rather diluted. About drinkable (Tromsø, 13.07.2026).
