Bottled (thanks Kimi!). Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, glue, mild alcohol, some fruityness and stuff. Flavour is fruity, glueish, some malts and mild alcohol. Not very nice at all. And actually due to the alcohol tastes I would guess this is a Belgian Tripel of about 9-10 %. Sorry, but no.

Sweetish, bready-grainy blonde that needs more from its grassy hop-bitterness. Pretty though.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is malt, fruity yeast, grass and flower. Flavour is malt, fruity yeast, grass, flower and pine.

A very strong whisky taste. I didn’t realize it but I was trying the barrel reserve beer. My bad.

Pours a hazy and golden beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, fruit, yeast and alcohol. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness. Overall a good beer.

Medium white head. Hazy yellow body with floaties and strong carbonation. Herbal coriander and fruit aroma with funky strawy notes. Dry-sweet funky fruity coriander taste with mealy earthy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish earthy fruity oily aftertaste with funky spicy notes. Lovely! Delicate, harmonic, drinkable, elegant. (0.33l bottle at Olympen, Oslo.)

Bottle. Dark yellow beer with lots of particulate and a lasting creamy head. Aroma is sweet white bread, yeast, orange peal, some spice and other fruit esters. Flavor is moderate sweet, yeast, drying earth, spice, and a little dry finish. The dominant flavor is a slightly bitter fruit juice, maybe sweetened grapefruit...not entirely into that part. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. A little too heavy to be refreshing.

On tap at Teresa’s Next Door. Served in a tulip. Clear golden. Spice plus some earthy hops. Bit of pepper. Some mild stone fruit behind that. Light and crisp. Easy drinking.

Tap. Pours clear orange with thick, fizzy white head; good retention and spare lacing. Aroma is bread malts, yeast, candy sugar, honey, lemon, herbs, and grassy hops. Flavor is sweet malt forward with heavy sugar and some hops towards the end (light bitterness) towards the end; dry finish. Medium body and carbonation with low warmth.

Tap. Pours lightly hazy gold with a small, frothy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is fruity esters, citrus and pine hops with biscuit malt. Flavor is medium hops and bitterness, fruity esters and supporting malt with a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.
