Bottle @ home. Unclear golden body under a fine, big, lacing off-white head. Aroma has malt, bread, toffee, hint of resin. Taste is smooth, sweet malt, light toffee, some bread and nice, fruity hops with pleasant bitterness. Balanced body with a nice aftertaste. A really fine, no nonsense, classic old school IPA. Guess many younger beer drinkers don’t have much experience with such a fine classic IPA and sadly many NEIPA chasers have forgotten what all this where about. A nice one that brings back some good memories.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden body without any head, sparkling carbonation, almost like champagne. Nice, clean, apple aroma. Taste is refreshing, some acidity, hint of yeast and some cellar notes. Balanced and refreshing. Very nice.

Can @ home. Unclear golden body under a huge, lacing white head. Aroma has malt, a bit discrete fruity hops and mild, but distinct kveik. Taste is smooth, sweet malt, ripe fruit, hint of juniper, kveik and pleasant bitterness. Balanced body with medium aftertaste. Easy drinkable decent IPA in the classic direction with a modern twist. Perhaps a bit anonymous considering my expectations. Probably best as a thirst quencher than a complement for burgers or barbecue.

Bottle @ home. Unclear reddish golden body under a short living off-white head. Strong raspberry aroma, some acidity and gives me a candy feeling. Taste is sweet red berries with acidity and raspberry candy, mild funk. Balanced body, long lasting aftertaste and well hidden alcohol. A decent fruit beer indeed, but too much juice flavor for my taste.

Superficial tasting at Kristiansand matfestival 2025. Almost clear golden body under a white head. Malty aroma. Taste is sweet, soft malt with some mild bitterness. Surprisingly soft and smooth for a lager at this alcohol strength, no offending alcohol flavor.
