For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

6.6/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6
Can @ home. Slightly unclear, golden body under a small, but lacing white head. Aroma has malt, citric fruits, pear and hint of toffee. Taste is sweet malt, some caramel, a bit boozy, marmalade, perfumed and quite bitter. Balanced body with an average length aftertaste that feels sweet and bitter. Surprisingly big difference between what to expect from aroma and actual taste here. Decent, but feels a bit messy in taste.

Bottle @ home. Unclear deep amber body under a small, dense tan head. Strong and slightly boozy aroma with malt, wood, dry fruit and whisky. Taste is balanced sweet malt, dry fruit, wood, whisky, warming alcohol and balanced bitterness. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Aroma and first sip may feel a bit raw and alcoholic, but it falls into place as the flavours settle in. Nice sipper.

7.3/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 8
Can @ home. Slightly unclear reddish golden body under a fading off-white head. Aroma has malt, bread and acidic fruit. Taste is sweet and sour with malt, bread, dry fruit, plum, kveik and some acidity. Balanced body with a refreshing aftertaste. Nice and really easy drinkable beer. As a sour bock this reminds med neither of a bock nor typical sour beer, but has a fine balanced where it’s not very acidic but more in the direction of refreshing acidic. Easy drinkable and balanced all the way. Could easily have a few of this.
