330ml from tap at Ølhallen, Tromsø after a grand tour with fellow historians around Mack Brewery. Pours an orange hazy body with a small head that quickly turnes into a flimy layer. Hops, cow parsley (the scent of North-Norwegian summernights) and fruits, notes of citus, grass and wet leaves. Taste of hops, orangepeel and some sweet malt. Bitter and dry finish. (13.Jun.2012)

Cloudy orange colour with an off white head. Fruity aroma over to the orange side and some grape hoppy notes. A little bit suprised by an unusual thin texture. Maybee because the low amount of alcohol? It also had an unusual high amount of yeast in the bottle. Moderate sweet fruity and grape citric flavour. The grape flavour lasted a long time in the mouth although the thin texture.

Fra kran på Ølhallen i Tromsø 30 Mai 12. Aprikosfarget. Et høyt luftig skum som varer ei god stund. Uklar. God fruktig aroma: Appelsin & aprikos. Veldig godt integrert smak med sitrus & jordbær som det mest framtredende. Lite kullsyre. Forsiktig bitter ettersmak. Avslutter tørt og gir en vanvittig mersmak.

Two glass, 500ml each, draught at Ølhallen. Hazy orange coloured body and a patchy surface. Smell of fruity hops where inviting hints of bittersweet oranges come through. Fresh and tasty with citrus and citrus shells added by mid-sweet caramel malts beneath. Dry bitter finish that lasts for quite a while. Well bodied considering the relatively low abv. A moreish, living brew (11.06.2012).

Small white head. Hazy amber body. Light floral citric aroma with strawy notes. Dry-sweet floral strawy citric taste with honey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish fruity strawy floral aftertaste with resiny papery notes. Really nice, and highly drinkable. (0.5l draft at Ølhallen, Tromsø.)
