500ml can kindly shared with Finn at a rating session with him and Lunde. Close to clear golden body, spotty lacing from a slowly diminishing white head. Moderate aromas of soft tropical fruits. Mixed taste of dusty hops, orange, and pale malts. Soft fruity ending. Easy going, and quite okay. (Tromsø, 13.03.2026).
