Lilja (952) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 12, 2013
En lättsam blond ale. Rund och ren med lätt syrlighet. Smak och doft av humle, jäst, citrus, gräs och örter. Torr med lätt beska.

Vignale (1366) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAR 17, 2013
Flaska från doorstepbrewing. Drucken på norgeprovningen. En ganska stiltypisk belgisk blond. Doft av belgisk jäst och citrus. Välbalanserad, men ganska snällt kryddad. Aningen koriander, pomerans, belgisk jäst, citrusfrisk och lite blommig. Först söt men torrare och stramare efter ett tag i munnen. Inte alls illa men kanske lite anonym.

RuneStumo (1707) - FØRRESFJORDEN, NORWAY - MAR 12, 2013
12.03.2013. 0,5l Bottle. Rimi Karmsundgata, Haugesund. Hazy unclear golden orange colour with white head. Way to much yeast residue in this bottle. This also gives a flavour of raw yeast. Aroma is wheaty with yeast and fresh summer floral hops. Aftertaste is a little harsh with notes of basement.

Bottle, enjoyed july 7th 2012. HAzy golden body, thick white head, Aroma of lemon, belgian yeast and grass, Rich full body, pleasant to drink. Taste of citrus fruits, wheat, and some banana and clove. Quite refreshing with a nice bitterness, and aftertaste of lemon and belgian yeast. Probably my favourite "Norwegian Class D" beer at the moment

BeerBaboon (1196) - FINLAND - DEC 21, 2012
Pour hazy amber with off-white head. Aroma grass, citrus and malt. Flavour is stronger with grass, coriander, citrus and a bit of malt. Typically for a Haandbryggeriet beer this one also has a hint of ashes in its flavour and aroma.
