Rune (4924) - Tromsø, NORWAY - MAY 11, 2009
500ml bottle. Shared with Magne. Deep, dark golden. One-finger white hue. Spiced fruity smell. Very sweet fruity taste partly counterbalanced by a solid bitter end. Soft carbonated. Refreshing, and alright (Liverpool, 04.05.2009).

Bottle. Pours a light amber colour. Good hop aroma. The taste is a real hoppy flavor, with plenty of malt. The finish is a bitter sweet taste.

yngwie (9188) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 27, 2008
Bottle, thx to Tarjei. A clear, actually slightly hazy, beer with an off-white head. Quite fruity on the nose, with some malty qualities. Just like expected from a golden ale. Fruity flavor too, on a malty background, with some grainy notes and a lemony bitterness. Medium body. Fruity finish with some pine, and bitterness. A quite nice beer that need some time to show itself. Far from outstanding though. (080731)

Bottle. Amber colour with an 0ff-white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, hop. Flavour is fruit, malt, hop. Medium body. OK beer.
