Keg at GBBF 25. Opaque amber-gols. Thick foamy white head. Aroma is sweet with a citrus streak. Tangy. Citrusy. Underlying malts. Before developing a metalic streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hmm. Alright. Could do without the metallic elements and a tad unbalanced.

500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.0%. Slightly hazy brown colour, moderate white head. Aroma of berries and citrus, on a background of toast-like malts, a hint of burnt breadcrumbs. Citric mouthfeel. The flavour has citrus, malts, toast, a hint of toffee, but is overall quite dry. Moderate bitterness.

Old notes from Nov 2014 - A bottle brought from the Spar shop in Montgomery, only a couple of miles from the brewery. Poured into a Liberation Ale pint glass. It has a golden look with a white foamy head. The taste has a hint of honey and goes down quite easily with it's rounded finish.
