Bottle, 4.7%. OK refreshing citric aroma. Clear pale yellow colour. Very small white head. The flavour is citric and grainy, but with a little malt in the finish.

Bottle, thx to Ole_R. It pours a clear, rather pale golden body, with a small, dense head. There’s a crisp hoppy touch to the aroma, and an almost bready maltyness, which surprised me quite a lot, I expected a beer with almost no aroma. It’s grassy and grainy too, and some lemony notes. Thin on the palate with a flavor of lemon doing a fair share of the work, along with grainy malt and some grassy hops giving it a little bitterness. Sweetish towards the finish, with both lemony sourness, pale malt and a little bitterness. Sure, I can imagine the beer being a refresher in the sun after a long day in the snow, but if I have a choice, I doubt this is the one I will choose. And one more thing, I hope they’re not thinking the design will help selling the beer. Or is it just me?(080422)

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, hay. Flavour is fruit, malt, hay. Thin body. Thin beer.

Bottle. Fluffy head, probably due to the wheat malt. Some soft wheat character, a little citrus, more orange than lemon. Refreshing, quite all right, should be fine after a long day on the slopes.

Big offwhite head. Yellow body. Apple, malts, and butter aroma with grassy notes. Dry-sweetish buttery malty taste with grassy notes. Light-bodied. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Dryish papery grassy aftertaste. Very heavy on the paper, but still a decent enough beer. (0.33l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)
