33 cL bottle, courtesy of faeroeviking. Pours clear and golden amber with a small white head. Aroma is dry malty, vague butterish and light fruity aroma. Citric, light fruity and subdued sweetness coming through. Bitter and light citric to fruity flavoured finish. Classic Föroya Bjór mild metallic.

Till att börja med var dette en ytterst märklig upplevelse. Hade inte ens en aning om att det finns något som rabarberöl. Och när man väl häller upp den och doftar finns det heller inget som gör att man hoppar upp på bordet och dansar jenka. Inte heller när man dricker den finns där något som gör att jag vill göra annat än egentligen hälla ut den. Men så, till en tugga mat, händer något. Fruktsmaken blir distinkt och rabarbern blir tydlig. Därför får den trots allt 5 i betyg i smak. Tack vare maten kan man säga.

330 ml clear bottle, at Etika, Torshavn. ABV is 4.6%. Rosé coloured beer, moderate pinkish white head. Fresh aroma of rhubarb and citrus. Light bodied. Refreshing flavour of rhubarb and hints of citrus, not sweet, but the hops are too moderate. Goes well with sushi though.

Clear red body, white head. Aroma has lots of malt, berry juice. Flavour has also lots of malt, some milky notes and the glue from envelopes. Thin.

Clear red colour with small off-white head. Looks like strawberry juice. Malt, grain and some sugary sweetness in aroma. Flavour is pretty much the same. Drinkable malty and grainy beer. I couldn’t find the evidence of rhubarb. Some sweetness though.

First US rating for this beer! Bottle poured a clear pale red with a lingering ring of off white foam. Aromas of honey, rhubarb and light cookie. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, light rhubarb and a hint of honey with a crisp fruity finish.

Bottle @ Copenhagen Beer Festival 2010. Pours a reddish color with a small fast disappearing off-white head. Has a fruity berry thubarb aroma. Sweetish malty fruity and watery berry flavor. Has a sweetish fruity finish.

Bottle. Hazy reddish colour with medium creamy off-white mostly lasting head. Weak aroma. Fruity bitter flavor. Very watery palate.

Bottle. 3½ months past ’best before’. Thanks to Faroeviking. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with a pinkish touch. Small pinkish/white head. Dry, tart, malty aroma. Fruity/berry-like notes as it warms. Sweetish and tart, malty flavour with a metallic touch. Has a weird ’airy’ herbal note. Faint plastic notes, but not so much that it interferes with the ’experience’. As it warms the same fruity/berry-like notes as in the aroma develops and then moves on to a perfumy note. Bitter finish; just touching liquorice initially, but not seeing it through. Lingering as a tart bitterness. Overall so-so. Not bad, but not really interesting either – the rhubarb didn’t seems to do much other than provide some fruity and perfumy notes. Didn’t seem to have ’deteriorated’ despite the ’aging’ though. 29.07.10.

Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2010, TAP1. Pours a clear and red(!) beer with a white head. The aroma is malt and sweetness. The flavor is weak with malt and sweetness. The palate is likewise weak. Overall a boring beer.
