OleR (1434), Oslo, Norway Oct 4, 2008 500 ml bottle. A mostly diminishing two-finger, lightly tanned, coarse head. Clear amber, well-carbonatied body. Limited aroma of semi-dry malts and mild fruity hops. Taste has a soft malt profile, light sweet with some modest caramel notes. A distinct fruity bitterness towards the finish. Not bad, but lacks some attitude.
