On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Hazy pale yellow colour, moderate white head. Citric aroma. Flavour like Ben Shaws Cloudy Lemonade - a refreshing summer drink, but beer?? Oh, well ....

500 ml can, as Obolon Extra Strong, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 12%. Clear golden colour, large tan head. Sweetish aroma of malts and alcohol.The flavour is way too sweet and alcholic, but at least there are some hops trying (without much success) to balance some of the sweetness. Not totally undrinkable though.
