Brewed for the Shetland islands.
Crisp and golden, the 4.4 per cent bottled Norseman is light on the palate and will particularly appeal to lager drinkers, as well as lovers of traditional, high-quality real ales.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 20, 2013
Bottle. It’s an unclear, golden-orange beer topped by a small, off-white head. The aroma is too much on the cooked vegetable side, with green apples, some fruityness and pale malts underneath. Lots of grass. The flavor has a touch of diacetyl, with the DMS sure present. Some fruityness and pale malts too. Medium body, soft carbonation. DMS and diacetyl in the end. Some fruityness too. A rather bad one, but with some qualities. 130420

Flaske kjøpt på Berentsen Brygghus: fin gylden farge med hvitt skum. Frisk aroma og smak, mye smak til så lav %. Meget lettdrikkelig. Et øl jeg gjerne kan kjøpe igjen nå som våren forhåpentligvis er i anmarsj.

Sigmund (4166) - Tau, NORWAY - FEB 8, 2013
500 ml bottle (probably pasteurised), as Norseman Pale Ale (Orkney / Sinclair Brweries is only mentioned on the rear label), at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.4%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Strong sweetish aroma of pear drops and butterscotch. The flavour is initially more malty than hoppy, medium sweet with a dry finish, hints of butterscotch and pear drops again, quite bitter hoppy aftertaste though. Drinkable, but this is not Orkney’s / Sinclair’s best beer. Maybe more "English" in style than Orkney’s other ales.
