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.

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.

Bottle @ home. Slightly unclear golden body under a big, stable, frothy white head. Mild aroma, pale malt, hint of citric fruit, slightly floral with a grassy touch. Taste is mild and basic, medium sweet, slightly fruity and floral with a bitter touch. Medium body and short, slightly bitter aftertaste. Not very interesting really, but just an easy going golden ale that wouldn’t challenge or offend anyone.

Bottle @ home. Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma has malt, herbs, fresh bread, Kveik and forest (maybe juniper). Taste is sweet malt, dough, yeast, herbs, wood and slightly harsh bitterness. A bit thin bodied with average aftertaste. Not great, but reminds me definitely about a Norwegian farmhouse ale. Don’t know if this is brewed with Kveik but it has a lot of that from both aroma and taste. Interesting.
