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.

Backlog august 2016. Clear reddish body under a small pink head that fades quickly. Aroma of artificial candy berries with a faint hint of malt and yeast. Taste goes in the same direction with artificial berries, anonymous malt and some yeast. One dimensional and boring.

Backlog august 2016. Slightly foggy golden body under a lacing, medium sized white head. Quite OK aroma of different berries. Taste is light and mild, not much malt. No bitterness and kinda artificial berry flavor. Plain and boring.

Backlog august 2016. Unclear golden body under a decent, lacing white head. Aroma with mild malt and some grapefruit type hops. Taste is sweet pale malt, grapefruit and hoppy bitterness. A bit thin bodied with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Drinkable but not very interesting after a few sips.

Can from Gulating. Unclear pale yellow golden body practically without any head. Unusually aroma, herbal, some citric fruit, yeast, tea and flowers. Taste is sweet, smooth malt, fruity, some acidic berries, herbs, forest, kveik. Medium body with same strange aftertaste. Kinda complex, unusually, sort of easy drinkable still a bit weird. Not great, but great fun to taste.

Tap @ Qvarteret. Unclear golden body under a small, next to nothing white head. Aroma has cucumber, a light hint of lime and cooked vegetables. Taste has quite smooth and soft malt, lots of cucumber, hint of lime, some mild acidity and minerals. I think I had preferred some more lime flavor to give a more refreshing impressing as this feels a bit too much after about half a glass. Still, I love this kind of experimental brews outside the ‘’mango’’ box. I have only tasted three cucumber beers before and they are ale quite different, but probably tasted more than 100 mango flavored beers that’s almost the same.

Bottle @ Home. Hazy golden body under a fine white head. Arom has tropical fruits and hint of banana. Taste is pretty forward tropical fruits, a bit on the sweeter side. Medium to thin body. Sweet and fruity aftertaste with a bitter touch. Decent, but a bit one dimensional.
