Bottle. God locking black body with a nice dense beige head. A bit medium kinda aroma, some dark, medium roasted malt with hint of coffee. Weak in flavor, mild dark malt, light roasted, feels a bit thin and watery with hint of yeast in aftertaste. Not a big hit by my, the best thing is how I looks in the glass.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a small white head. Mild aroma of mostly malt and grain. Flavor is sweet malt, a bit toast, some general fruitiness and low bitterness. Medium body and a bit weak in aftertastes. Don’t think anything is wrong here, just a rather plain and clean beer that’s mostly boring and uninspired.

July 2019: 500 ml bottle, as Kvernafossen Gaula Red Ale, from Coop Extra Øvre Årdal. ABV is 4.7%. Deep reddish brown colour, moderately hazy. Moderate off-white head. Aroma of yeast, malts, old jam and over-ripe red berries. Yeasty and malty flavour without anything that makes you want another sip. Minimal hops. Meh!

On tap at Sørlandet Matfestival. A clear copper colored beer with a small, nice beige head. Some lacing. The aroma is fruity and malty, citrus, pine cones, toffee and caramel, hints of coffee. Medium to thin on the palate, dry, with a good carbonation. Bready malts, toffee and some coffee. Some dark dried fruit too. Piney, bitter hops. Citrus zest. Medium length finish. Sort of drinkable, but a bit too malty, and gentle on the hop flavor. 240711
