330ml can, a Father's Day present, drank on 15th June 2025 (Father's Day). White crust on a clean and clear light golden body. A bit dry and boring to be honest, drank straight after a Vetra Helles and that was far superior in my eyes. Not a lot going on here.

Flavour is composed of floury wheat, orange rind, vanilla. Peach melba. Mellow dank. Palate is semi sweet, floury, mellow cask condition. Decent little rough round the edges.

On the day I am drinking this beer, 83 years ago the Toronto Maple Leafs were completing a very rare feat, and they were the first to do this, and only team to do it to win a title, coming back from 3-0 down to win a best of seven sporting series. They lifted ice hockey's Stanley Cup defeating the Red Wings. Personally I'm a Boston Bruins fan, so from that beartown to this one - A dryish but crisp lager, fair, not too helles in style in reality.

Deadication beer to Charles Hälle, who's name is synonymous with Manchester's Halle Orchestra, born on this day. If he had composed this beer it would be a good one. Hoppy sweet-tropical fruit notes, in both aroma and taste.

Delt med Rune. Stråfarget. Nesten klar. Middels høyt luftig skum som blir helt borte. Søtlig gressaroma. Smaken som aromaen. Bittelitt bitterhet i avslutninga.
