June 2021: 440 ml can, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Moderately hazy golden to orange colour, moderate white head. Aroma of mango, passionfruit, papaya and guava. The flavour is fruity / citric but not too sweet, again with notes of said tropical fruits. Hints of sprucetips, but the bitterness is low. Enjoyable beer, might well buy again.

Nearly clear golden colour, large to moderate white head. Aroma of orange peel and coriander. The flavour has again notes of orange peel and coriander, but also more distinct notes of American hops than you normally find in a witbier.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7%. Gusher can. Hazy reddish brown colour, small off-white head. Unfresh aroma of whey, stale caramel and stale hops. Flavour of grapefruity and piney hops, some caramel and whey (which is a very bad idea). Won't buy again.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.2%. Moderately hazy brown colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and earthy and herbal hops. Fizzy and slightly citric mouthfeel. The flavour is medium sweet, with dominant caramel and yeast, also notes of pine and juniper twigs, bitter aftertaste. Too yeasty, won't buy again.

Shared 500 ml bottle at local tasting, thanks to Holmen2. ABV is 6.0%. Clear deep golden to orange colour, moderate to low white head. Nice and "typically English" aroma, toffee, caramel and sourish hops. Much the same elements in the flavour too, but less nice - seems a bit unbalanced. Drinkable, but far from the best IPA I’ve had.
