3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Kestral (494) - Årnes, - JUN 7, 2011
Murky dark yellow with hints of brown. A big white head leaves a bit of lacing here and there. Aroma is a bit perfumy. Pineapple, very juicy fruity character, but its leaning towards being the artificial kind of fruity. Kind of candy-like. There’s some banana and lemon here as well, and it seems to be touched by a tendril of smoke at some point. Refreshing and crispy on the tongue, well balanced with citrus up front and a sweeter fruity midsection before some spicy hops rounds it up. The finish is a bit watery though. Carbonation is very sparse, feels almost flat until you swallow it. Could easily have had more sparkle to it. It’s not flawless, but a refreshing and a bit different wit.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Foffern (285) - Bergen, NORWAY - MAR 8, 2012
On tap at Naboen. Has a hazy straw colour with a small white head. Typical fruity aromas of banana, yeast, wheat, and citrus. Find much of the same things in the flavor but relatively sweeter with addition of some hops. More slick and silky mouthfeel than expected. A good witbier on all levels, but on the edge of becoming too sweet. Maybe more like a german hefeweizen with a citrusy touch.
