Comments: Thin, sour and loaded with acetaldehyde uncleanliness. Awful. This was on tap at KAIA in Bodo, Norway for 13$ a pint. Avoid.
Skinnyviking (2360), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 5, 2007 Can. High white fluffy and quickly disappearing head. Hazy yellow body. Banana hops aroma. Rather watery and not as sweet as expected and there is even some bitterness in it. Guess it is lemon. Low carbonation, short aftertaste. tykjen (183), Florø, Norway Jun 16, 2007 Much better this time than when this beer first was released. Now it has a good estery character with lots of clove and some banana. Quite drinkable, some roughness in the taste and it lacking fullness. A decent weizen. tarjei (941), Bryne, Norway Apr 23, 2007 Can 44 ml. Cloudy/muddy golden color, fast vanishing white head. Fruit, yeast, spice, and they all say bananas. Almost no bitterness. Could use å bit more of everything.
