GTMW 2023. A well hopped pale ale, sweet, lots of yeast, I would have called it a table beer.

GTMW 2023. This is not great. Not sure what is norwegian about it, a weird corn flavor, I do not get spruce. strange and whatever they were trying to do, it didn't work.

On tap at Giant Jones, pours a cloud golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of twigs, floral notes, light sugars, and a touch of esters. Flavour seems like a Belgian at base, with gentle esters, subtle floral notes, and then the branches. Needs more branches and earthy stuff to really convince me as a proper sahti; as is, it�s more like an earthy, sprucey Belgian. Decent.

On tap at Giant Jones, pours a cloudy dull orange with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of toasted caramel, brown sugar, and soft bready malt. Flavour is a bit rough, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and some syrupy notes. The malts are a bit rough, leading to a pretty sloppy but inoffensive barleywine.
