Bottle from the brewery.
Creamy head over sligtly hazy brown beer. Lovely intense grassy hoppiness, leaving a long bitter finish.
Pine and oak.
A hop showcase, and another proof that you can make great beer in Norway despite the odds. I’d love a crate of this for summer drinking.

Aug 5, 2008 Hazed orange color with a nice frothy top. Nose was citrusy but too subtle. Flavors citrusy also but the body was way way too weak and the hop character, based american standards, was pretty much non-existent.
