0.5l bottle. This is a crystal clear golden one with a medium sized quite lacing and bubbly white head. It seriously smells like lemon turd this! Also a bit like lemon vaskemiddel often used at children schools. Citrus, Jamaican jerk and green peppers. Something completely different from what I was expecting, and that's often a really good thing! A fresh and actually quite good aroma. It has a thin oily mouthfeel and a average carbonation level. Again fresh citrus flavors in the taste. A good hoppy bitterness, almost Americanized in a way, lots of citrus zest, some fruity tones and traces of flour. Yeah, this is sessional and a lovely combo of hops. A bit soapy on the finish perhaps, but this is one of the more interesting beers from the somewhat (imo) boring English brewers. 26.04.2013

0.5l bottle. This is a clear deep dark brown colored one with a medium sized quite bubbly beige head that sticks to the sides of the glass. Nice light roasted aroma with thin coffee, some clear chocolate paper, slightly earthy and it has a candy sweetness. Not utterly complex and epic, but it smells quite nice, especially considering what kind of caliber this thing is shooting with. It has a soft thing kinda gliding oily mouthfeel with a soft to medium carbonation level. More roasted flavors. It had a good chocolate sweetness and the coffee is also present. Fudge like sweetness, the hops comes through, it has a good amount of dark fruits, and the finish is slightly buttery and almost a bit slimy. Really light drinkable. Some traces of licorice in the aftertaste. Absolutely approved. 18.03.2013

0.5l bottle. This is a deep dark bronze colored one with a medium sized really bubbly off-white top. On the nose it's get a dry woody kinda fruity aroma with a little bit of dry caramel and a general nice sweetness. Smells absolutely decent this. It's surprisingly bitter in the taste. Lots of dry bitterness and also a good amount of roastiness. Wood as well, like chewing on a coffee table in remember we had when it was younger. A floral bitterness rounds it off. It has some flavor this, but it's not necessary something in have to hunt down for a second go. 29.04.2013

Taste is minimally sweet malty, hints of fruit, cautious herbal hoppy overtones, in the finish dry, husky.

500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.2%. Golden colour, large white head. Aroma of grassy and citrussy hops, with some unusual and interesting spicy notes in the background, also a hint of tobacco.
