25cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. Best before 2009-12-31. It poured a very pale colour with a big white foamy head that settled down very slowly in the glass. The aroma is fruity with notes of yeast, earth and cereal. The flavour is fruity and fresh with hints of spices. Notes of citrus and grain. A nice beer that’s easy to drink on hot summer days. It has a short aftertaste.

Bottle. Pale yellow unclear body. Huge nice lasting white head. Fresh and dry aroma of yeast. Hints of sourish fruits. Flavour is not like the aroma. Almost like a pilsener, with some sweetness in the finish. Malty start, then sweeter, yeasty finish. Easy drinking, good on a hot day. (At home, 20.03.09)

Aroma of yeast, earthy hops, fruit. Surprisingly sour, otherwise the flavours are the same as in the aroma. Fizzy carbonation, feels watery.

Bottle @ ZBF 2009.
Pours lightly hazy yellow-green with a small, creamy, white, film head. Aroma is a bit grainy, some lemons and wheat. Carbonation is just a tad too much, making the beer feel slightly watery. The flavour though, is actually quite fine. Good maltiness and sweetness, but the lemony zest it really put to good use.
