Bottle at Chris_O bottlefest 2007. Amber colour with beige head. Malty, has some fruit, bit of strawberry, nasty aroma. Not that great.

ChrisFest Soft, malty, sweet and pleasant. Nothing much going on, but quite drinkable.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s extravaganza. Copper colour. Chunky but short lived head. Like a wheaty lager with some very slight sweetness. Little thin in the mouth. Nothing exciting at all but drinkable enough.

Bottled at Chris_O Fest March 2007. An amber coloured beer. The aroma is sweet and malty. Seems more lagerish than wheaty. The taste is very similar. Lagerish and ordinary, but just enough character and flavour to separate it from the masses.

Bottle. Brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel, wheat, banana. Flavour is sweet, wheat, caramel, malt ,banana.

Bottled, brown, wheat aroma and taste, very good harmonic barley finish, little sweet and banana

330ml bottle. Dark brown/copper body with a big beige head. Discreet, but pleasant aroma. Sweet, slightly roasted malt with some spices. Flavor is medium sweet, some caramel, yeast, fruit and spicy. The mouthfeel is a bit watery, quite similar to many commercial German dunkel weissbiers. Not a world classic, but very drinkable. How many beers of this type could you pick up at a Norwegian supermarket to this price? Lot better than most other boring pilsners from this country. I know this should not be taken in consideration when the beer is ratet, but I just hade to mention this somewhere. Wipe off the Christmas gnome, and make this available the whole year, Aass!

(33 cl bottle thanks to KnutAlbert) Metallic and fruity banana scent, some smoke and alcohol. Clear red brown color, tan head. Metallic and acidic taste. Low bitterness. Spritzy mouthfeel.
