500ml bottle from Gulating Ølutsalg in Tromsdalen. Bright watery colour body with a pale yellowish shade. Naked surface, scattered lacing. Subdued smell of apple skins with a floral scent. Rather sweet taste of apples followed by a mid-dry, sweet ending. Drinkable with some refreshing moments, in smaller amounts. Shared with Finn. (rating no 21600) (Tromsø 09.04.2022).

BIAB at The Hop, York. Pours clear pale golden with no head. Sickly sweet synthetic tropical vibes throughout. I'm wondering if any apples were actually involved. Light body with no carbonation. Pretty nasty all in all

Half pint box @ The Abbey. Very pale clear gold appearance. Really thin bodied, even by Lilleys standards. Comes across like elderflower cordial in overall character. Don't think it really aims to be anything else.
