| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2009 What a pleasant surprise to find this unfiltered and unpasteurised beer on tap at our local Ølhallen on a Friday afternoon. Two half litres with a nice hazy, golden body under a fading, white bubbly head. Modest aroma of dry citric hops. Sappy citrus fruits in flavour followed by orange shells mixed with hints of sweet toasted malts. Smooth and lingering bitter endnotes. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Feels well bodied on the swallow. A social session beer with refreshing drinkability. More a Golden Ale or a well hopped Pilsener than a lager (Tromsø, 08.05.2009). Nordcore (288), North of, Norway

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 12, 2009 On tap at Ølhallen, Tromsø 8 May 09. Bright golden colored. Unclear. A rapidly disappearing large fluffy head. Inviting aroma of spice and citrus. Well rounded compex flavor with citrus in the foreground. Pleasant dry fruity & bitter aftertaste that lasts. Moreish. More like a Golden Ale than a Lager.
