Shared bottle at RBNAG 2011. ABV 4.0%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Uninteresting typical industrial pale lager aroma and flavour, but not offensive. Thin body. Next, please! Rerate, 480 ml can, from EkoMarket, Stavanger. ABV is now 4.5%. The beer clearly benefits from a somewhat higher ABV. Maybe not a great beer, but not bad either. Clearly drinkable.

500 ml bottle, from EkoMarket, Stavanger. ABV is 4.6%. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma of grain, dust, wort and baby porridge. The flavour has first a little citrus, then the same elements as the aroma. Won't buy again.

330 ml bottle, as Nøgne Ø Footloose Rosé Tripel Reserve, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 10%, IBU 30. Gusher bottle. Hazy golden to orange colour, moderate white head. Aroma of yeast, white kandij sugar syrup, oak and rosé wine. The flavour has the same elements, and is way too yeasty. Waste of money.

1 liter swingtop bottle, from EkoMarket, Stavanger. ABV is 4.6%. Deep golden to pale brown colour, moderate white head. Aroma of grain, malts and stale jam, hints of decaying fruits (incl. banana), only a faint hint of cloves. Flavour of malts and grain, a little citrus, hints of stale jam.

October 2014: On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Fairly clear golden colour (beginning of keg, will probably be hazier towards the end). Large white head. Strong aroma of herbal hops (Saaz, I assume), hints of butterscotch as expected, but not disturbing, Lovely and fresh hoppy and herbal character throughout in the flavour, distinct bittering hops in the finish. Also sampled at brewery tour.

March 2015: Shared 500 ml bottle at local tasting. Golden colour, moderate white head. Grainy and dusty aroma. Highly drinkable, light bodied of course, but fairly dry and crisp with tolerable hops.
