Gift from SJ. I think he purchased it at the Craft beer outlet.
A nice cloudy golden pour. What I liked about this was the full bread, citrus and wheat taste. It was all blended pretty well with hints of alcohol.

Sampled at an esbls tasting. Light golden and cloudy. Ma small white head. Lots of subtleties here. Honey, light spice, soft fruit. This was sampled after a bunch of big beers so it is difficult to get all of the undertones. What I taste is very nice. Zesty towards the end.

Flaske 0,75l spandert av Rune og delt hjemme hos ham 26 Jan 12. Gyldenbrun. Litt tåkete. Høyt luftig skum som fester seg til glasset. Syrlig krydderaroma. Myk munnfølelse, Svakt syrlig kryddersmak. OK men litt ensformig. + for en spesiell etikett,
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Rune (4671) - Tromsø, NORWAY - JAN 27, 2012
Big bottle from Ølbutikken in Copenhagen. This is one of the few bottles I have bought mainly because of the controversial bottle label, which provoked quite a discussion in the US when it was released. The bottle is topped by a cork and a wire cradle. Unclear, yellow body. Fading white head, spotty lace. Moderate aroma of pale malts, mild spices and wheat. Sweet citrus hops in flavour alongside notes of dry honey and a dash of spices. Soft carbonated, rounded mouthfeel. Standard. And, of course, I saved of the label (session with Finn, Tromsø 26.01.2012).

Sampled at the Day After Thanksgiving Tasting 2011. Hazy dark yellow pour. Coriander, vanilla, creamy on the palate and not very effervescent. Meh.
