4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Palme (1200) - Bergen, NORWAY - JAN 2, 2012
0.33l bottle from EtreGourmet webshop. This is a lovely cloudy golden-orange beer, really packed with tons of sediments and floaters and a heavy everlasting just off-white fluffy head. This is how a beer is supposed to look like! Fruity zesty aroma with some nice yeasty tones and perhaps even some hints of yellow apple zest and oranges. Not extreme or mind blowing, just subtle, calm and quite enjoyable. The carbonation level is soft and you can sense that this beer has been brewed some time ago. It also has a mild oily mouthfeel. The taste is light malty and zesty with that Belgian yeast, light spicy and a slow oxidized twitch that makes it even more interesting. Ends mild fruity with more yeast and a nice hint of banana in the aftertaste. It can actually in many ways remind of a Belgian wit. A really nice one!

Pours out golden out of the 33cl bottle. A medium head, holds pretty good, sticks ok to the glass. Not bad lookings. Smell is bready, floral, yeast and spices and citrus, some oranges. Not bad at all. Taste is bready, some sweet-sourness that ends in a nice moderated biterness. Fruity and yeasty, some bread-taste. Pretty good beer in my opinion.
