Can. 7.0% Almost clear amber gold beer, good cream colour head. Smooth palate, modest fine carbonation. Malts have a little creamy sweetness and a big dollop of unsweet caramel and a touch of dark toffee. Orange peel bitterness, some marmalade and smooth pine. Touch of hop spice on the finish which leaves a long bitter linger. Quite serviceable for what it is. If I was in a pub that only served shit beers and this was available I would be happy. If I was in a craft beer bar, this would be way down the list.

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Shared with Finn. Rocky white head, rich lacing, a slight haze of wheat to a golden body. Moderate floral fruity aromas. Hints of citrus and coriander to the taste profile alongside a touch of yeasty fruitiness towards the finish. Satisfying. (Bergstua, Malangen 18.06.2020).

Can from The Made Inn Ashford and drunk at home. Hazy gold colour thin white head. Peach and mango juice light saison character. More a fruit beer than anything else. Ok but too fruity.
