Bottle. It pours a hazy dark golden colored beer with a finger-thick off-white head. Lightly sourish aroma with some overripe fruits and a light spiced touch. Bread notes and some sourish malt. It's medium bodied, semi-sweet and nicely carbonated, lightly sour and far from bitter, with flavors of overripe fruit, some grass and a touch of bread. Medium length bready and fruity finish. Not very good this one, hope something went wrong and it isn't meant to be like this. 180920

500ml bottle bought at Gulating Ølutsalg, Tromsø. Huge, rocky, white head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Near-clear golden body. Smell of dusty hops and earthy malts. Mid-sweet canned fruits to the taste buds, a bit mealy. Rounded mid-sweet fruity end. Medium bodied. Quite alright. (Tromsø 31.08.2018).

Nice light brown fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet roasted, dark malts, roasted grain, toast, dark sugar, hay, minerals, chocolate, hints of coffee. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish roasted, weeds, sour-ish roasted grain, sour coffee, soil, bark, burnt toast, grass, dark malts, paper. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh sour-ish roasted mouthfeel. Fair enough.

26.08.2017, tap @ Smaksfestivalen Godt i Gapet:
Nice fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet mineraly, "knekk", grass, minerals, caramel malts, dark sugar, spices, licorice, hay. Taste is slightly dry mineraly, weeds, grass, hay, caramel malts, minerals, cloves, "knekk", paper. Medium bitterness, watery and slightly dry mineraly mouthfeel. Fair enough being so light, nicely oxidized. A 8%+ edition of this would be interesting though...
