Original rating, May 2018: 330 ml bottle, batch #015, from the brewery, as En Liten Øl Fruktig IPA Grønnstein. ABV is 4.7%. Hazy deep golden colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of fruity and piney American hops. Citric mouthfeel, light bodied. Dry and resinous flavour, quite bitter finish. (Sampled again today from can, "Fruktig" is no longer part of the beer's name, but otherwise the same.)

750 ml bottle, vintage 2022, from Vinmonopolet Klepp. ABV is 5%. Golden colour, pours sparkling with a large but shortlived white head. Lovely aroma of various apple varieties. Semi-dry flavour ("brut" is an exaggeration from the cidery), again pleasant notes of various eating apples and cider apples. Might well buy again.
