330ml bottle, L 202, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Crocheted lacing from a pearl white head, misty late straw coloured body. Moderate smell of dusty hops, yeast, and mid-sweet malts. Mixed taste of toffee, yeasty fruitiness, and wheat. Mild hop fruity finish with alcohol. Drinkable, but nothing to get too excited about. (Tromsø, 15.06.2025).

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#70. PONTORSON. Supermarket bought blonde and is strength-driven with mid bubble-gum notes in aroma and taste - enough to give it character.

Sharing this beer with Stéphane along the Seine, yesterday, at Paris. Much better than the fischer. A beverage on the Belgian way, boozy, malty, fruity, subtle touch of sweetness, regular hop, pleasant at the palate, a typical Belgian ale, 17.04.2022.
