Bottle. A lightly hazy golden beer with a small, off-white head. It’s quite grainy on the nose, with a light fruityness. Some spiced and herbal notes in the far back. It’s dry and medium bodied, with a soft carbonation. Pale malts, bitterness, some generic fruityness, citrus hints and a little spiced hint in the flavor. Lasting finish with pale malts, herbal bitterness and some citrus. A decent beer indeed, but I can’t say I’m impressed in any way. Slakes the thirst though. 140620

A bit dark golden pour with a fine head. Aroma and flavor are a bit bready, mild grassy and fruity. Unfortunately did this Norwegian bitter not help much. England lost 2-1 to Italy in the world cup.
[Bottle from Meny Oslo City in Oslo, Norway]

50cl bottle from Meny, Oslo City. Pours slightly hazy amber with an off-white head. Nice and hoppy aroma with lots of fruits; citrus, pine, some tropical fruits, malt and some herbal notes. Moderate sweet with lovely fruity and hoppy flavours and a rather dry and bitter finish. Refreshing and delicious APA - just the way I like it!

Bottle. Pours hazy dark golden with a finger thick airy mocha head. Aroma is roasted malts with caramel, and just some balancing whiffs of nice hops. Medium body with average carbonation. Flavour is initially quite bitter with orange peel, balanced by roasted malts with caramel and toffee. Nice long citrusy finish.

0.5l bottle from #unknown. On the pour this is a deep and dark brown looking one. Not directly black but not far off either. A nice big brown really lacing head on this as well. On the nose it's roasted and almost a little ash smoky. Good tones of both bitter and sweet chocolate. I get hints of salty licorice and all in all this smells quite nice. Really lightdrinkable as well. It's light oily and gliding in the mouth while it's just below average and near prickling on the carbonation. These guys knows how to brew good and much Tasting beers fitted for the Norwegian grocery marked. It's really flavorful and roasted, traces of chocolate blended with vanilla and a little bit of your everyday coffee. Lingering roasted malty and even more slightly sweetened chocolate in the aftertaste. Nothing fancy schmancy, just a plain old really tasty porter from one of the best everyday brewers in Norway IMO. 05.04.2014

0.5l bottle from #blank. This is a blurry deep dark golden colored one, well at least it starts off blurry, a bit down the bottle it went quite cloudy and even had some big chunky floaters and sediments, with a really big and lasting just off-white head that's refusing to let go. On the nose I get a good amount of sweetness from caramel, fruits and wood juices. It's quite fruity indeed with tones of both peaches, strawberries and yellow raspberries. I'm not surprised that I enjoy this aroma cause this brewer has impressed me in every bottle I've had so far. Saying that, this don't really taste all that good. It has metallic copperish brown flavor combined with dry caramel, light grass and yeast. It has a surprisingly nice and light oily feeling in the mouth with a average big bubbled carbonation level. Ends floral with more if that dry caramel touch. By all means, it's a flavorful bitter just not completely my favorite genre today I guess and I didn't fancy those pretty clear metallic tones. 01.04.2014

0.5l bottle from #177. Looks quite good in the glass with a deep blurry really dark amber red body under a medium sized light bubbly but lasting beige head. On the nose I get a nice sweet caramel and fruit sweetness. Red apples with a faint darkness in the back. It's father fruitiness that dominates this and I'm liking it. It has a thin oily feeling in the mouth while it's soft on the bubbles. Really soft. Nothing to say on the flavors here. Fruity caramel with a good hoppy kick. Red berries and traces of something slightly roasted before its giving me licorice. Dried licorice. Lots of flavor and IMO a really successful amber. It's really lightdrinkable this. I'm so impressed that I can honestly say that this is something I want to have again. Not often that happens in these kinds of beers. 29.03.2014
