Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

0.33 l bottle from one of the brewers, best before March 2022. Hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, minimally sourish, quite fruity and gently grassy aroma of fresh grass, pineapple, gooseberry and white grapes. Slightly sweet, minimally sourish, rather fruity-floral and slightly grassy taste of lemon, gooseberry, white grapes, some fresh grass and a touch of nettles, followed by a short, gently bitter, minimally tart, moderately grassy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Highly refreshing and well-balanced beer with characteristic green hop flavours and hints of sourish funk from the kveik yeast. Tasty!

0.33 l bottle from one of the brewers, best before April 2022. Hazy, golden amber with a medium large, slightly fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, fairly fruity-grassy, slightly floral aroma of lemon peel, pineapple, some fresh grass and light grains. Moderately sweet, gently bitter, quite fruity-grassy and slightly floral taste of lemon peel, pineapple, some grains and hints of fresh grass, followed by a short, gently bitter, quite grassy finish. Thin to medium body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Very refreshing and crisp pils, fairly hoppy and aromatic, just a bit over-carbonated. Maybe a Bohemian Pilsener.

0.33 l bottle from one of the brewers, best before April 2022. Hazy, deep reddish amber with a medium large, foamy, slowly diminishing, off-white head.
