Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a big frothy head that turns into a bumpy egg white head. Fresh aromas of pale malt, fruity yeast, spices, hay and some wheat. Sweet and fruity flavours with some more spices, and sweet wine gums. Slick and bit watery mouth feel. Bitterness = Light+, more than expected, and that lasts. A decent witbier with a surprisingly bitter end.

12.02.2012. 0,5l Bottle. Ica Supermarked Maaseskjæret, Bergen. Whitish yellow colour with white head. Hazy and unclear. Aroma is wheat and lemon hops. Very refreshing and nice aromatic hoppy smell!. Flavours are wheat, lemon hops and Coriander. There is a very clear flavouring to this beer. Medium to weak body, there should have been a little more body to balance the flavouring. At the end there is a little sourness. Low on bitterness in aftertaste. Good wit.

500ml bottle picked up at Fenaknoken, Oslo. Yellow-gold body with a wheat haze. Airy, white head slowly fading and leaving spotty lace behind. Wheat and citrus to the nose. Well balanced flavour of mild spices, wheat and sappy, mid-sweet pears. Fruity ending, mid-dry. Soft in the mouth. One of the best of its kind in Norway. My rating no.500 of a beer from a Norwegian brewery (Tromsø, 14.01.2012).

Sampled at Nærbø Ølfestival. Hazy yellow body with a small white head. Relatively mild in aroma with yeast, coriander and some banana. Flavor is fruity and nice, quite typical with wheat, coriander and fruit. Medium body. OK, but a bit average.
