Tap at Barley Johns in New Brighton. Clear light gold pour with a white head. Aroma is bread, with some sour and medicinal elements. Palate is moderate. Taste is spice/pepper, fresh baked bread, and a hint of light fruit.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks KnutAlbert for this bottle! Hazy orange. Spicy-smoky aroma with a hint of acidity, a bit of hops, yeast and a bit of fruitiness. Sweetish flavor with malt, somewhat smoky, with light acidic notes, caramel, a bit of fruity notes, a bit of spicy notes and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Nice.

Clear medium orange-amber with 1/4" long-lasting white head and 1/2" solid lace above the brew.Dark fruit and malt give this a taste reminiscent of cough syrup. Big flavor, some alcohol warmth, a solid brew for a chilly night. Recommended.

This beer has a strong Nelson sauvin type hop taste to it. Very bitter but refreshing
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
50cl bottle. Little white head, bubbles on side of glass. Clear red-orange color. Good, lighter crisp carbonation, and drier texture. Interesting, toasty malt aroma, but still crisp and fresh tasting. Earthy hops. Good, light bitter taste. Some very light warmth, something hard to describe about the flavor. Tasty, interesting brew.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma sumamente interesante. Intensamente aroma a cebada, ciertas notas tostadas, ligero caramelo y aromas herbales, y todo eso con notas finales ahumadas.
Referente a la apariencia, cerveza sumamente turbia, color amarillo opaco, carbonatación media, cuerpo medio y liquido espeso, corona de espuma abundante y duradero, muy esponjoso.
Al primer sorbo lo primero que llama la atención es la cremosidad sin duda debido a su espesa corona. Se percibe un muy ligero amargor y sobresale el muy estructurado sabor de la cebada.
Al paladar, se concretan los aromas percibidos ya que se perciben ligeramente aromas florales, sin embargo las notas ahumadas concentran la atención, sin llegar a ser desagradables y dando un sabor sumamente agradable.
En general sun cerveza fascinante, intensa, interesante y en la cual los aromas se hacen una realidad en el paladar. Ampliamente recomendable.

500ml bottle at home. Subtle aroma, yet a powerful and very tasty treat. Well balanced and a unique one of a kind beer. Fruity and black pepper notes, smokey and balanced, with a nice hoppy finish. Haandbryggeriet is turning on the style with this one.

Bottle in our quirky Oslo hotel. Cloudy amber beer, tidy white head. Light crispy palate, semi dry. A little farmhouse funk, saison character and a definite streak of smoke. Tangy malt with hop bitterness and dried fruits. Semi dry finish with minerals. I can imagine this is how beers in Norway used to taste in days of yore. 100% support keeping the traditions alive but my modern palate is a bit puzzled by it. Quaffable though.
