500 ml swingtop bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.7%. Crystal clear golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate floral and herbal aroma, some grain and malts in the background. Fairly crisp flavour, floral and herbal notes again, a slight malty residual sweetness, moderate to low bitterness. A decent summer refreshment.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8%. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of Belgian ale yeast, white kandij sugar syrup and canned yellow fruits. Fizzy mouthfeel. The medium sweet flavour has the same elements as the aroma, also some spicy notes from the yeast and herbal hops, and the added coriander, sage and bay laurel leaves.
