(On tap at Ølhallen, Tromsø 12/23/10) Pale yellow, a bit hazy with a nice head. Not as hoppy as the name indicates, but nice hoppy aroma. Some bitterness and maybe a tiny bit sour too. Very drinkable and much better than the regular pale lagers from Mack available in stores.

330ml at Ølhallen Tromsø 23.19.10. I really enjoyed this beer. It had a nice white head with a hazy yellow body. Fresh taste of citrus and refreshing fruits. Light bitter aftertaste which could have been a tad stronger. I had actually expected more hoppyness. But nevertheless worth a try! While leaving Ølhallen one of the bartenders told me that the Huma Suse was in fact better last year. Too bad I wasn’t able to try it a year ago. Would have been nice to compare the two.

A great surprise - and a good one. Mack has been making lots of really good beers in their micro brewery

What a pleasant surprise to find this unfiltered and unpasteurised beer on tap at our local Ølhallen on a Friday afternoon. Two half litres with a nice hazy, golden body under a fading, white bubbly head. Modest aroma of dry citric hops. Sappy citrus fruits in flavour followed by orange shells mixed with hints of sweet toasted malts. Smooth and lingering bitter endnotes. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Feels well bodied on the swallow. A social session beer with refreshing drinkability. More a Golden Ale or a well hopped Pilsener than a lager (Tromsø, 08.05.2009).

On tap at Ølhallen, Tromsø 8 May 09. Bright golden colored. Unclear. A rapidly disappearing large fluffy head. Inviting aroma of spice and citrus. Well rounded compex flavor with citrus in the foreground. Pleasant dry fruity & bitter aftertaste that lasts. Moreish. More like a Golden Ale than a Lager.
