Can @ Herøya. I often find it a bit fun with Sorachi Ace, especially in relatively neutral beers like a pale lager. At least I'm always curious. The body is slightly unclear golden under a big, creamy white head. Aroma has grain, herbs and grass, misses some of the typical aromas from Sorachi. Taste has light, pale malt, district herbal flavours, some green hops and finally some of the strangeness from Sorachi that might be best described as artificial candy flavours with hints of chewing gum. Medium to light bodied with moderate aftertaste. An interesting take on the hoppy lager.

Bottle @ Herøya. Slightly unclear golden body under a huge, foamy white head. Aroma has yeast, fresh grass, green apple, herbs and green hops. Taste has sweet pale malt, some white sugar, green apple, herbs and unripe citric fruits. Medium bitterness. Balanced body and some more bitterness in aftertaste. Drinkable and quite refreshing, still a totally different beer than the regular Duvel as I prefer. It’s something about Belgium beers, they seems to make some stiles about perfect but IPA seems to be a missing link.

Bottle @ Herøya. Unclear dark golden body under a white head. Aroma has malt, bread, dark fruit, some wood and slightly funky. Taste of sweet malt, ripe fruit, wood, honey and mild brett. Balanced body with a light and refreshing aftertaste. Decent, but perhaps a bit one dimensional. But promising, I believe a little storage to let the Bret work a bit might do some interesting things.

Can @ Herøya. Black body under a beige head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Taste is balanced, sweet, smooth roasted malt, chocolate, some coffee and mild bitterness. A really nice classic stout in the Guinness style, but some more chocolate taste. I liked this a lot.

Can @ Herøya. Unclear, golden body under a big, lacing white head. Aroma has tropical fruits, grapes and hint of white berries. Soft and fruity flavour like aroma, light but rather sharp bitterness – a bit green hops flavour. Nice body with some more distinct bitterness in aftertaste. Easy going, refreshing.

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.
