330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken, n/a dept. ABV is 0.3%. Opaque yellow colour, moderate white head. Distinct aroma of over-ripe pineapple, also notes of lactic acid. The flavour is more sweet than sour, with distinct notes of fresh, ripe and over-ripe pineapple, hints of oranges. Kind of refreshing to drink, impossible to say if a "fruit smoothie" like this one has 0% or 6% alcohol.

September 2015: On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Hazy very pale golden colour, moderate white head. Strong aroma of oranges and citrussy hops, also hints of pine. Fairly light bodied. Medium dry flavour with notes of oranges and grapefruity and piney hops, but it still tastes mostly like a beer with a little orange juice added, not as orange juice with beer added. Refreshing and thirstquenching.
