 KM (145), Tromsø, Norway
Mar 25, 2008 Tap. Nice amber body. Small white head. Good fruity aroma, specially elderberries. Moderate fruitiness in the flavour. Well balanced. Nice bitterness in the finish. A little too much carbonation. (Trondhjem MB, 17.03.08)

Dec 19, 2007 100 on tap at the brewpub early in the afternoon. Inviting clear amber body under a shy cover of white foam leaving great lacing on the glass. Dry hopped aroma. Pronounced hoppy taste in the direction of grapefruit shells. Long lived bitter aftertaste. A bit foamy mouthfeel. Good! (Trondheim, 12.12.2007).

Light color. Well hopped, American style with Cascade and Golding. Crispy dry, refreshing. One of the best beers brewed in Norway IMHO.
