500ml bottle bought at Gulating Ølutsalg in Bodø. Shared with Frau Eva. Clear pale orange body, naked surface, poor lacing. Perfumed sweet aroma of peaches. Prominent peachy flavours, prolonged ending. Drinkable, but it gets rather sticky sweet after a short while. One-off. (Bodø Panorama 15.08.2021).
