Delt med Rune. Bra karamellaroma. Så vidt litt skumring. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken blomster & karamell. Ble vel søt.

440ml can (only 3.7% ABV); BB 23rd April 2022. Drank at home on 29th September 2021. Wasn't expecting it to be a gusher! Third of a pint flew out and the froth filled my pint glass with some getting onto the table. Mini-haze to the light golden body, getting darker and hazier with each pour; huge white head. Even some plain crisps and a piece of 'Oude Gouda' couldn't get the head to recede, took me four pours to actually empty the can. Hoppy in nature with a citrussy leaning in both the nose and taste, more citrus flavours as I added more beer into the glass.

440ml can from my brother Matt: BB 28th Jan 2022. Drank at home after a two hour dog walk on 25th July 2021. Misty pale golden body, decent white head that hung around for a while. Light yeasty nose, mild citrus under-sniff with a herbal twist. Taste is fairly bitter with a lemon twang to the fore. It's pretty 'fizzy' body wise. Nice and refreshing after the walk, but not a beer I'd normally go for. --- Beer merged from original tick of Minimise on 25 Jul 2021 at 14:31 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5.

440ml can: BBE Sep 2021. Drank at home on 4th Jul 2021. Light haze in the golden amber body, thin off-white head. Aroma was a mild mix of floral, malt and yeast esters; nothing strong or dominant. Taste also a blend of flavours with maltiness just about in the lead over the hop content. Can mentions Gooseberries and Melons, sorry I didn't notice any!

Can. Wilderness online shop. Hazy, dark brown. Thin beige head is lasting and semi lacing. Nose has a nice, bright and fruity yeast character. Definitely some pineapple going on, as per the description. Touch of ice cream Sabro. Taste is a little sweet first off. Gets a fruity bitterness. Light and a little dry on the palate. Foamy carbonation. Short bitter finish. Sets off great, but gets a little thin and dry.

Clear golden yellow colour with a large frothy white head, big bubbles that colapse to a relatively thin but stable head. Malty aroma, sweet malts, fruity note, loads of rye, light cookie, saison yeast, spicy pink pepper with a yeasty touch. Rather sweet flavour, sweet malts, pink pepper, belgium yeast, banana, spicy saison yeast notes, rye. Medium body, quite fizzy. Spicy finish, sweet, brown banana, saison yeast.

Can from the brewery (Wilderness). Appearance - close to black and opaque. Cream head. Nose - hops dominant over yeast and malt. Big pineapple and coconut. Taste - again, pineapple and coconut all over it. Slight edge of tang, almost salt, with some sweet molasses lurking. Palate - tangy, fruity and mildly creamy. Tangy, fresh finish. Almost medium bodied. Overall - interesting beer.
