3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 daje (1291) - NORWAY - APR 16, 2013
Bottle at Øltorget Mathallen, march 5th 2013. Clear amber body, tiny offwhite head. Fruity citrus aroma with flowers and malt. Taste of caramel, flowers and cloves. Low bitterness, sticky-sweet body, finish of flowers and caramel. It’s good but no killer, even if it suits the flowery theme of the beer a bit I think it’s too sweet.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 Bathory (360) - Bryne, NORWAY - MAR 24, 2013
Pours a grumsy brown colour with a small white head that disappears wuite fast. Aroma of elderflowers.I also get some pilsener assosiasions in the smell. Flavour is supprisingly weak. Some light malts, spruce, elderflowers and a quite earthy feel. Aftertaste has a bit of bitterness, but not too dominating. It’s in the finish the elderflower actually shines through as a big plus, without it this would be really boring. Medium body, with a sticky mouthfeel. An okey beer, but I expected more. Reminded me of a pilsener, just woth some more maltbody and some more fruity notes, especially with the elderflowers in the aftertaste.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 esp0r (1259) - NORWAY - FEB 12, 2013
Bottle from Vinmonopolet Manglerud enjoyed at home
Amber red, big offwhite head. Smells of elderflower, almost like perfume, burned malts, bread and some citrus hops. Light to moderate sweet, bread or biscuit, medium bitter, some earthy and citrus hops. Quite odd experience this. The elderflower is fuzzing it all up; not a good idea in my book. Without it it could easily gain a higher score
