Pleasant orangey caramel aroma. Hazy, light orange with a white ring and cirrus clouds. Bland, grainy flavour that is slightly astringent. Some diacetyl and citrus flower accents. Light to medium body with medium carbonation and a slightly astringent finish Finn (1510), Tromsø, Norway
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 24, 2009 Flaske 0,5l delt med Rune. Pen gylden farge. Lavt skum. Kraftig fruktig aroma. Veldig tiltalende. Smak av kjeks og malt. Forfriskende. Svak bitter ettersmak med aprikos i avslutningen. Passet helt fint til rømmegrøt & spekemat på St.Hansaften - men hadde nok vært enda bedre som koseøl. KI=5 Rune (2834), Tromsø, Norway

Dark golden color, big but disappering white head. Aroma is fruity and malty, also some hops. Flavor is sweet malty, a bit fruity and fine hoppy bitterness. A bit thin, but it´s very fine to be a 3,8% beer. OleR (2082), Oslo, Norway

A slightly hazed, pure golden colored beer with an orange hue. Fingerthick offwhite head. Light biscuity malt aroma along with an inviting fruit scent and some grassy hops. Dry malt body. Well prononced hop bitterness, earth and grass. Lots of fresh citrus underneath. Impressivly filling considering the 3.8% abv. Soft in the mouth.
