Handbottled. A hazy light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw, but also a light touch of citrus. The flavor is sweet again with primary notes of straw, but also light notes of both malt and citrus, leading to a dry strawy finish.

Hazy pale golden colour. The aroma is buttery with notes of grass. Flavor is malty and refreshing with some bitterness in the finish. Flat and boring beer.

At the brewpub. Golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma is fruity and refreshing with notes of caramel, light citrus and very little elder flower. The flavour is smooth and fruity with a light sweetness, notes of caramel, butter, citrus and light elder flower. It’s without any bitterness, uncomplicated and quenching. I have tasted it once since then, the butter was more dominant all over, starting to be too much, but my score is from the first tasting.

Yellow colour with a white head. Malty, buttery aroma with a light hoppy note. Malty, sweet flavor with notes of butter and hops.

(Handbottled at the brew pub 50 cl) Courtesy of Myrup. Slightly hazy pale golden with a creamy, white head leaving laces. Fruity aroma, sweetish malts and a whiff of butter. Medium body, lightly sweet malt and a dry, lightly hoppy finish. Very ordinary. 150807

Handbottled from tab @ Bryggen. [Courtesy of Myrup, thanks Peter] Average fizzy white head that mostly lasted. Pale yellow color that was clear and flat looking. Aroma of fruit, light butter, citrus, caramel, light grass. Light to medium bodied with a light dry texture and an average carbonation. Balanced bitter and sweet flavor. Light dry and somewhat bitter finish. 15-08-2007

Handbottled from tap. Clear yellow coloured with a white ehad. Light acidic aroma of butter and fruits. Fruity flavour of malts and hops.

Handbottled thanks to Myrup. Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is buttery and slight cornish. Bitter flavour, mild grainy, cornish to citric flavour. Dry. Dry bitter finish. Mediocre brew.

Hazy light blond color. Aroma of malt, cereals, hop and butter. Medium-light body, with a buttery and dry malt taste; quite good hopping and long final. Not bad, but flawed.

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy pale golden coloured. Light aroma with some elderflowers. Light and refreshing fruity flavour. Some bitterness in the finish. A good thirst quencher, but nothing more.
