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.

Can @ Herøya. Unclear, golden body under a fine, white head. Aroma has a nice maltbase. Taste is rather classic pilsner with balanced sweetness from the malt, floral noble hops and nice bitterness. Feels smooth, soft and refreshing with a ‘moorish’ aftertaste. A nice, well made, no nonsense lager.

Bottle @ Herøya. Slightly unclear amber body under a nice, lacing beige head, lively carbonation. Aroma has caramel, brown sugar and ripe fruit. Taste has sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit, red berries, spicy yeast, cellar notes and a nutty touch. Fine body and same aftertaste that’s feels quite refreshing. Nice, quiet complex, typical Belgium beer. Might need a bit time with this one to discover all nuances.

Can @ Home. Unclear, very pale golden body under a white head. Decent, refreshing aroma of citric fruits. Taste is very weak malt with moderate citric fruits and low bitterness. Nice aroma, weak in taste, thin in body. Quite clean and refreshing but frankly not much going on here, even for a non alcoholic.

Can @ Herøya. Hazy yellow body under a fine, big, white head. Strong citric fruity aroma with some tropical fruits and ripe mango. Taste like expected from aroma, mostly fruity with citric, tropical fruits and distinct ripe mango. Sweet, but still refreshing in a juicy way.

Bottle @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma is fruity with Belgium yeast, spices, wood, pale malt, vinegar and slightly funky. Taste is sweet and acidic with pale malt, white sugar, acidic white berries, green apple, wood and milt dunk. Lots of different flavours, but nice balanced together. Balanced body as well and pleasant, rather tart finish.

6.5/10
Bottle @ Qvarteret (test tasting). Unclear reddish brown body under a medium sized tan head. Aroma has much cherry with almond in the background, also hint of neutral wood and some acid. Taste is sweet malt and cherry with balancing acidity, almond, wood and fruit candy. Balanced body with sweet and sour aftertaste. Not bad, but a bit surprising and an unusually balance between very sweet and quite acidic – nothing in-between. Still it feels a bit artificial.

Can @ Home. Unclear/cloudy golden body under a decent white head. Aroma is grainy/malt with a generic fruity touch. Taste is pale malt like a lager or perhaps pale ale with just a fruity hint and a light touch of acidity. Low bitterness and rather thin bodied. Kinda refreshing, but I think I would a preferred some more apple flavour here. The fruit part is totally in the background and does not have much impact, feels more generic than actually a contribution to the flavour.
