bottle. a really sweet one with this birch sirup. not for permanent use, in my opinion, but as a dessert beer a good choice.

Pours cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is light hop, pine, grass and citrus. Flavour is malty light bitter and flower hop.

Bottle. Golden - yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, hop. Flavour is sweet, fruit, sirup, apple, malt, hop. Medium body. A little bit strange beer.

Medium white head. Paleish yellow body with light carbonation. Neutral mealy apple aroma. Dry-sweetish mealy apple taste with something spicy and herbal, which might well be birch syrup. Mid-bodied. Clean, fresh palate. Dryish mealy herbal aftertaste with grassy notes. Fresh spicy herbal taste grows more prominent with time. Perfectly decent, but unremarkable. (0.5l bottle, Oslo-Copenhagen ferry.)

Bottle. A yellowish golden beer, more or less clear, with a white head on top. Sourish aroma initially, is that the birch sap? Some resiny notes too, hops I guess. A decent aroma, but hard to pin. The flavor has some sweetness, but there’s also a dry, sourish touch. Medium body and a nice co2 level. A strange beer, maybe the ageing hasn’t done any good to it, but it was far from BB-date. Sure drinkable, but only one glass I think. (090430)

Bottle. Hazy pale yellow colour with medium creamy white mostly lasting head. Malty and hoppy aroma. Bitter flavor. Dry finish.

50 cl bottle. Hazy yellow color. Large lasting head. Aroma: straw, malt, honey. Medium co2. Taste: weak bitterness. Not much else. Boring brew.

courtesy of Laurent Mousson - pale golden colour with a fair white head; oily grassy hoppiness, good malt body, quite tasty and fairly bitter flowery finish - very interesting
