0.33l can, huge thanks djoeye. Shared with Hrabren and Ogi. Hazy dark brown, vaguely amberish along the edges, thick, creamy beige head gone fairly soon. Dried dog food and heaps of dried fruit in the aroma, bit jammy. The purest note of dried dog food I've felt in a beer for a while mixes with honey and dried fruit, creamy, well hidden alcohol, tea notes, maybe trace oxidation. Can't hate it, but it has its issues.

170ml draught at Ølhallen. A clear warm golden body under a film-type layer, upper part lacing. Inviting smell of grain and ripe fruits. Moments of ripe orange and bread-like malts to the taste character, fine balanced. Malt-hoppy finish, clean on the swallow. Medium bodied. Pretty decent. (Tromsø, 31.03.2026)

Surprisingly pleasant to drink
Not the usual artificial stuff from Mack
Probably very ok on a hot summer day
Mild lime/lemon touch
