Backlog November 2012. Bottle labelled High Five Holsterbro, but as far as I can see this is probably an alias with a different label made for the shop. Unclear golden body under a small white head. Spicy aroma with herbs and hint of berries. Taste is light malty as well with Christmas spices and a herbal touch. Medium body and spicy aftertaste. Decent. quite straight forward spicy beer. Aroma was the best part.

Backlog November 2012. Pale golden body under a white head. Mild malty aroma with a spicy and floral touch. Taste is light malt, light fruity, floral, spicy and low bitterness. Medium body and same aftertaste. A bit unusually and refreshing.

Can @ Herøya. Dark brown body under a big, creamy beige head. Aroma has roasted malt with a hint of coffee. Taste is medium sweet, roasted dark malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Balanced bitterness. Medium to light bodied with pleasant roasted aftertaste. In the Guinness direction, but a bit more refreshing.

Can @ Herøya. I often find it a bit fun with Sorachi Ace, especially in relatively neutral beers like a pale lager. At least I'm always curious. The body is slightly unclear golden under a big, creamy white head. Aroma has grain, herbs and grass, misses some of the typical aromas from Sorachi. Taste has light, pale malt, district herbal flavours, some green hops and finally some of the strangeness from Sorachi that might be best described as artificial candy flavours with hints of chewing gum. Medium to light bodied with moderate aftertaste. An interesting take on the hoppy lager.

Bottle @ Herøya. Slightly unclear golden body under a huge, foamy white head. Aroma has yeast, fresh grass, green apple, herbs and green hops. Taste has sweet pale malt, some white sugar, green apple, herbs and unripe citric fruits. Medium bitterness. Balanced body and some more bitterness in aftertaste. Drinkable and quite refreshing, still a totally different beer than the regular Duvel as I prefer. It’s something about Belgium beers, they seems to make some stiles about perfect but IPA seems to be a missing link.

Bottle @ Herøya. Unclear dark golden body under a white head. Aroma has malt, bread, dark fruit, some wood and slightly funky. Taste of sweet malt, ripe fruit, wood, honey and mild brett. Balanced body with a light and refreshing aftertaste. Decent, but perhaps a bit one dimensional. But promising, I believe a little storage to let the Bret work a bit might do some interesting things.

Can @ Herøya. Black body under a beige head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Taste is balanced, sweet, smooth roasted malt, chocolate, some coffee and mild bitterness. A really nice classic stout in the Guinness style, but some more chocolate taste. I liked this a lot.

Can @ Herøya. Unclear, golden body under a big, lacing white head. Aroma has tropical fruits, grapes and hint of white berries. Soft and fruity flavour like aroma, light but rather sharp bitterness – a bit green hops flavour. Nice body with some more distinct bitterness in aftertaste. Easy going, refreshing.
