Can @ home. Unclear amber body under a lacing, tan head. Aroma is acidic with ripe, red berries and caramel malt. Taste is quite sweet but also quite acidic – ending up with a real sweet & sour experience here. Ripe red berries is quite dominating but the malt part, leaning towards caramel or toffee is rather evident as well. The kveik part is not particular pronounced for me, bit there is something else here that’s difficult to put my finger on. Alcohol is well hidden. Not sure about this, doesn’t feel like a fantastic beer, but sure original and unusually and seems to grow a bit on me during the finishing of the can.

Bottle @ home. Unclear golden body under a fine off-white head. Arma has malt, biscuit and mild, generic fruitiness. Taste is smooth, soft malt, biscuit, hint of bread, slightly fruity, classic noble hops and balanced bitterness. Balanced body and pleasant aftertaste. A really nice, classic, food friendly British pub beer that should be a weak-up call in world of juice and cookie infected beers.

Can @ home. Black body under a nice, big, lacing beige head. Mild aroma of gentle roasted dark malt with hint of chocolate and coffee. Taste is sweet, dark, smooth roasted malt, dark chocolate and hint of coffee. Low bitterness. The oak impact is discrete; it’s almost just like a mild spice but I think that’s a good idea in this case. All over a really nice beer, balanced in flavor and body. Relly, really soft and smooth with plenty of flavors.

Backlog June 2009. Unclear orange body under a big off-white head. Fruity aroma with banana, caramel and hint of citric fruit. Taste is sweet with caramel, butterscotch, oranges and hint of licorices. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent.

Backlog June 2009. Slightly unclear orange body under a small, dense white head. Aroma is fruity, yeast and banana. Taste is quite refreshing with citric fruits, banana and low bitterness. A bit short in aftertaste.

Tap @ Patricks. Clear golden body under a fine white head, lively carbonation. Aroma has malt, bread and mild herbal hops. Taste is relatively sweet, smooth, malt, slightly fruity, moderate bitterness and mild hop flavour. Balanced body with smooth aftertaste. A fine, smooth lager regardless what lager style.

Can from Gulating Christmas calendar. The only pilsner style beer from this calendar that actually tastes more like a craft pilsner than a standard macro pilsener. Sure, a pilsner with grassy and noble hops, slightly herbal bot also more personality and some fine bitter qualities. Refreshing in more than one way.

Can from Gulating Christmas calendar. Named as Casual Beer Company Golden ale, but same shit, new wrapping by rumours. Light and fruity, mild but relatively sweet malt, low bitterns. Like a decent refreshing summer beer. Not the typical one for a Christmas package but frankly at least 50 precent of this calendar would have fitted perfectly for some kind of beach party kit. Totally OK for such setting this beer.
