Poor color: very cloudy hazy amber half yellow-orange. Smell is pretty nice, little fruity. Ok taste, slightly hoppy and bitter. Carbo is too lively, it brings the beer down instead of adding something extra.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
08.07.2011. 0,33l Bottle. Vinmonopolet Bergen - Valkendorfsgaten. Golden colour. A little hazy. This beer is so lively carbonated that the head never stops groving. Aroma is malty with strong dry hops. Not as rich as expected, but there is some very good malty flavours. Best thing about this beer is the dry hops. Very refreshing and strong beer with lasting bitter aftertaste.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle picked up at State Line a ways back. 2010 vintage. Served in a Bruery tulip.
Pours a clear golden color that is a bit dark for the style, though not too much. Massive white head with some good lacing on the way down. The nose carries quite a bit of bread along with a very mild yeast presence. Flavor continues like this. It’s simple -- which isn’t necessarily a problem with the style -- but it gets the proportions wrong. The taste is too bready without any of the light stone fruit I’d like, or really much yeast character at all. The breadiness makes it too thick and chewy, and there’s not as much carbonation as I’d like. With that said, it’s still a well-made beer that I wouldn’t complain about drinking again.

Bottle. Orange with a huge rocky white head. Aroma of lemon, flowers, dough, honey, coriander, white pepper is maybe a bit muted due to the foam. Taste is just sweet and a little tart with, then quite bitter with lemon and punchy spices. Alcohol well hidden. Dry and spicy at the end. Both sophisticated and rustic.
