Balder Vreid Pils
Bottle, at Sørlandet Matfestival. A clear, golden colored beer with a small white head. The aroma has loads of green apple peel, with a light generic fruityness and some pale malts. It's a bit thin on the palate, with a low carbonation level, semi-dry. Green apple peel dominates the flavor too, with some pale malts, bread and hay in the back. Medium length finish. Except the copious amounts of green apple peel, it's a decent pilsner. 230707

Balder Leikanger Blonde Korsen
Bottle. It pours a hazy orange-golden colored body under a small beige head. The aroma is quite weak, with fruityness driving the show. Grass, yeast, plum, pale malts, hints of white bread and some piney hints. It's medium bodied and nicely carbonated, semi-dry, with a decent bitterness. Pale malts, white bread, generic fruityness, some citrus and a touch of yeast in the flavor. Medium length slightly cloying finish. Sure drinkable, but a bit messy and rather dull. 221102

Bottle. It pours a lightly unclear golden colored body under a small off-white head. The aroma has some raspberry and a hint of cherry, with a light generic fruityness. Some pale malt in the back. It’s medium bodied and semi-dry, with a nice carbonation. Rather low bitterness. The flavor too is quite berry-ish, mostly raspberry, but there’s also a cherry note. Generic fruityness, pale malts and a faint note of grass and piney hops. Medium length finish. A decent one, with a surprising cherry touch, considering there’s no cherry added. Not worth a detour though. 220903

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Shared with Finn at Bergstua. Almost black in the glass, remaining fawn-coloured head, clingy lacing. Moderate aromas of berry skins alongside a scent of dark malts. Slightly unbalanced berry-malty flavours, raspberries added by a note of chocolate. Prolonged ending. Rather thin mouth feel. Fair enough. (Malangen 31.08.2022).

Spandert av Rune. Drukket på Bergstua. Svart. Lavt mokkafarget skum. Forsiktig bringebæraroma. Smaken bringebær & sjokolade. Tørr avslutning. Bringebæra henger i. Mere eksperimentell enn god.

Bottle. A dark, dark brown beer with a small, dense beige head. The flavor has quite a lot of raspberry and raspberry leaves, quite perfumed, with roasted malts, some burnt malts and bark. It's full to medium bodied, nicely carbonated, and rather dry on the palate. Raspberry, berry plant leaves, roasted malts, dark chocolate notes, a burnt bonfire-ish touch and some herbal notes in the flavor. Rather dry finish. Too weird this one, and unbalanced. 220825

Aroma; lemongrassy hops, fruity caramel malts, leaves. Look; off white tall head, on veiled straw golden body. Taste; good pilsner friendly hops, bready malts, floury caramel malts, normal grain, and balanced finish with a dry final end. Feel; normal body and slightly fizzy co². Overall; good pilsner.

Balder Nanna Pale Ale
0,33 flaske fra Statens seruminstitutt i Verksgata, hjemme en regnfull novemberlørdag: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Balansert, men noe beskjeden aroma og smak av mine favoritthumler Mandarina Bavaria, Citra pluss Lemondrop. De kunne gjerne brukt mer av alle, dette blir for puslete. Hvetemalten bidrar til fin munnfølelse. Behagelig bitterhet, men ettersmaken har kort liv.

Bottle. A clear golden colored beer with a finger-thick white head. Some curtains. The aroma is quite grassy, with little else shining through. Pale malts, herbal hints and some piney hops. It's medium bodied and quite dry on the palate, nicely carbonated, with a decent bitterness. Grassy flavor too, with some pale malts, pine cones and herbal hints. Grassy, herbal finish too. Too grassy this one, way too grassy. 211020

Balder Baltisk Porter Aquavitt
On tap at Cafe Sara. It's almost black in the glass, with a creamy light tan head leaving lacing. The aroma has roasted malts, chocolate and some coffee notes, lots of aquavit and a good dash of caramel sauce. It's full-bodied and lightly warming, guess the aquavit does more to that feeling than the alcohol itself, smooth and nicely carbonated, with a good sweetness. It feels almost pastry stout-ish in the flavor due to the sweetness and all the chocolatey, roasted malt flavors. Some coffee and heavy caramel sauce, as well as a lightly spiced booze touch. Super-long finish. A delicious beer indeed, sure one of the best from Balder. 190608
