Gurre (1), Oslo, Norway does not count Jun 27, 2008 This used to be one of the pubs "standard" ales, now they usually brew the IPA instead. larsga (2132), Oslo, Norway May 27, 2008 Big creamy offwhite lasting head. Hazy nearly opaque yellowish orange body with bubbles stuck to the inside of the glass. Leaves fine lacing as it’s drunk. Fruity peppery hop aroma, very clean and harmonic, with notes of elderberry. Dry-sweet edgy resin and malts taste with floral notes. Some medicine, as well. Sharpish mouthfeel, and maybe slightly lacking in body. Bitter floral roasty aftertaste with mealy straw notes. Very nice, with lots of flavour. (0.5l draft at brewpub.) Ole_R (1167), Oslo, Norway May 26, 2008 On tap @ the brewpub. Beautiful white head; dense like wipped cream, leaving fine laces. Unclear, greyish golden-brown colored body. At first a delightful smell of ripe peaches, then some dry pale malts and hayish/dusty hops. Taste is fairly dry. Low on the malts with a light fruity accent and mild, dusty bittering hops. Body is light plus. Mouthfeel is quite lively, but feels somewhat watery. Relatively short, bitterish end. Overall a very enjoyable Bitter. (24.05.08) Beer_2000 (1164), Kristiansand, Norway Apr 4, 2008 Updated: Apr 5, 2008Draught @ OMB. Golden orange body with a creamy off-white head. Mild toffee, hop aroma. Flavor is quite straight forward caramel malt and hops. An ordinary bitter that might could have done it a bit better with some more distinct hops. Refreshing. Sigmund (1896), Hafrsfjord, Norway Aug 29, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Served at correct cellar temperature. Deep golden to amber colour, creamy head, leaves a nice lacing. Moderate but nice aroma of toffee and butterscotch. Flavour is moderately malty and mellow with "dusty" hops (East Kent Goldings). Some bitterness in the finish / aftertaste. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to make it stand out from your average bitter either.
