June 2019: 500 ml can, from Bunnpris Sauda. ABV is 4.5%. Golden colour, large to moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of pear drops, also hints of dust and flowers. Slightly sweet and malty flavour, some aromatic hops, too little bittering hops. Drinkable, but forgettable.

500 ml can, from Coop Extra Prestemarka, Tau. ABV is 4.5%. Clear and pale golden colour, large white head. Strong sweetish aroma of pilsener malts, also notes of flowers and newmown grass. The flavour is not as sweet as the aroma made me fear, fairly crisp and "neutral", some citric notes, but the bitterness is too low. Far from undrinkable though.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Herbarium, Stavanger. ABV is 8.0%. Hazy / opaque yellow colour, moderate white head. Aroma of citrus and melon, also various tropical fruits, like mango, papaya and guava. Citric and somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour is quite sweet and juicy, with notes of said fruits. A bit too far out on the sweet side, but still a good beer.

April 2015: Cask half pint, at the Urban Tap House, Cardiff. Served too warm. Deep golden colour, white head goes from low to none. Very little carbonation. Aroma of elderflowers, toffee and leather. Flat mouthfeel. Fairly bland flavour, noticeable elderflowers, but "hoppy"? Not much hops here!
