Rune (2038), Tromsø, Norway May 21, 2008 500ml bottle from the Pomor brewery in Arkhangelsk. Unpasteurised beer with a light copper coloured body, partly cloudy. Dense, white head with moderate duration. Mild fresh smell of malty fruits. The flavour is somewhere in the border area of hop bitterness and sour grass. A touch of malty lactose beneath. Smooth, dry and medium carbonated. Moderate palate. Alright, but far from great (thanks to Per-Einar for bringing it back to Tromsø from the northeastern part of Russia, 20.05.2008).
