MichaelAwesome	2.5 Gjerberg Jul Sehr dunkel in Optik und Geschmack mit etwas viel geröstetem Malz und etwas Kaffee. Recht trinkbar, dabei jedoch etwas zu speziell, wenn auch hocharomatisch. Nicht schlecht. Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Holmen1	2.6 Gjerberg Jul 0,33 flaske (takk til Asle Bjørn!), delt med Ovesen: mørkebrun med beige skum, tilløp til kniplinger - som deres ipa et fint utseende og god karbonering som gir en behagelig munnfølelse. Iflg Sigmund er humlene Pilgrim (bitter), EKG (smak) og Fuggles (aroma). Aroma av brød, karamell og noe søtlig krydder. Kraftig kropp, men jeg blir ikke begeistret, til det er sluttinntrykket for ufriskt. Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Holmen2	1.9 Gjerberg Jul Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 28.10.14. Dark brown. Beige head. Not quite inviting aroma dark malt and hops. Also a hint of anis. Similar and sweet taste. Caramel malt sweetness and hops not in harmony. Unfresh aftertaste Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Holmen1	2.3 Gjerberg IPA 0,33 flaske (takk til Asle Bjørn!) delt med Ovesen: brunlig rubin med beige skum som varer - fint utseende. Mye humle og malt både i aroma og smak, det ender opp som karameller med grapefruktsmak. Ubalansert med andre ord. Fin karbonering trekker opp men en snerpende munnfølelse trekker ned. Tuesday, October 28, 2014

Finn	2.4 Gjerberg IPA Flaske 0,33l Gave fra Rune. Mørk brun med et brukbart, litt farget skum. Litt lacing. Veldig forsiktig aroma. Antydning til malt. Smaken er veldig flyktig. Spor av frukt som raskt blir overdøvd av en tung bitterhet og blir veldig tørr etter hvert. Friday, May 2, 2014

Palme	2.7 Gjerberg Lys Østbygding Sampled form a 0.33l bottle @ The brewery. This is a as clear kinda golden looking one, lots of small unfiltered particles in the glass and it has a small light lacing off-white head. On the nose it’s giving me a good amount of pale malts, it’s light floral, soft malt sweet and traces of grass. It has a really round and lightdribkable flavor. It feels light oily on the mouth and it’s just below average on the bubbles. A little watery perhaps, but it’s not to watery. Soft grainy, and clean easy lightdrinkable one. Not to exciting though. 15.02.2014 Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Palme	3.2 Gjerberg Jul Sampled from a 0.33l bottle @ the brewery. This is a kinda blurry, perhaps light cloudy deep amber almost bronze colored and it has a nice medium sized soft beige top. On the nose it had bit a sweetness and a clear fruitiness. Almost honey-melon sweetness with dark candied sugar and some caramel. Smells quite nice, gentle and nice. This one also has a really round and balanced flavor. It’s somewhat dark caramel infused in the taste with subtle hints of dark fruits and malt drops. Yeah, quite a good one! 15.02.2014 Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Palme	3.1 Gjerberg IPA Sampled from a 0.33l bottle @ the brewery. In the glass this one has a light cloudy deep amberish looks with a medium sized light lacing beige head. A but mild nose perhaps. It has a caramel sweetness combined with a little bit of butter, mild berry fruitiness and traces of hops. Not very IPA-ish on the aroma to be honest. Tastes a bit like a English style IPA. If you can call it an IPA. It has a bitter punch, but as good as no fruitiness or citrus taste. It has a nice oily mouthfeel and the carbonation is spot on how it should be. Grassy mouthdrying finish and aftertaste here. Would not call this an IPA, but it’s not a bad beer at all. 15.02.2014 Tuesday, April 1, 2014

Sigmund	2.7 Gjerberg Lys Østbygding Sample from bottle at the brewery. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of green apples and a little caramel.
