Bit sweet, but with lots of fruit. Strawberry and kiwi fruits in mouth. I love this brewer, Christian ex of Olfabrikken. Some good malts too, which are a bit toasty. Rune (2787), Tromsø, Norway
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 16, 2009 Sampled from a bottle that turned up at our rating table in Earls Court Exhibition Centre. Courtesy of ChristianScheffel. Hazy, golden body with a beige, solid foam stand. Very fresh and inviting aroma of berries and fruits. Initial taste of tropical fruits and sappy oranges giving way to succulent grapes and mild hints of honey sweetness. Rounded bittering hops to a long-lived ending. Appetising smooth in the mouth. A skilful made living product with a refreshing drinkability (London, 07.08.2009). Geokkjer (256), Kristiansand, Norway

Christian is serious about producing good beer, there can be no doubt. Pours slightly hazy burnished light amber withy golden overtones. Huge thick rocky head with bits of loose lacing up the side. Sweet piney nose, almost like a beautiful fresh APA, Creamy medium body with firm carb. Nice toasty, nutty caramel mid-palate with nice mild piney bitterness balancing it out. Slight dry grape notes on the finish. Label’s just as cute as two buttons, and the beer’s actually good enough to get me thinking positive thoughts about easter beers. Nicely done. yngwie (4923), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Updated: Aug 30, 2009Bottle. A golden, slightly hazy beer wtih a beige head of moderate size. Resiny nose with malts and caramel sweetness. Sweet, citrusy flavor with orange-peel and maltyness, and a fine bitterness. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Smooth bitterness at the end, getting quite resiny after a while. Both honey and alcohol are well hidden in this one, and I don’t think the grapes left much of themselves either. At least not except for fermentables. Pretty nice beer anyway. 090619 stobbe74 (700), Denmark
