    April 2013: 500 ml can, from Superbrugsen, Denmark. ABV is 5%. Golden colour, large white head. Sweetish aroma, fruity and grassy notes. Soft mouthfeel. Bland flavour, medium sweet, not offensive, but far too little hops.

    August 2014: Halfpint on tap at The Last Post, Guernsey, as Breda XXX Premium Lager Beer, and 500 ml can at the Fauxquets Valley Campsite, as Breda XXX Royal Lager, ABV 5%. I assume this is the same beer. Golden colour, moderate white head. Standard pilsener aroma, some malts and grain, sweetish grassy notes. Flavour notes keg: The flavour is rather bland, no obvious faults other than the hops being far too moderate. Flavour notes can: Malty and slightly alcoholic flavour, despite only 5% ABV. Moderate but noticeable hops.

    750 ml green waxed bottle, as Wild Beer After Oak BA Wild Belgian Ale, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.2%. Slightly hazy golden to orange colour, small white head. Aroma of funk, farmhouse / brettanomyces, honey melons, flowers and honey. The flavour is moderately sour, notes of melons and honey again, but the beer is not very sweet. Hints of oranges and tangerines, also discrete hints of oak, dry finish, low bitterness.

    July 2019: Shared 750 ml corked and waxed bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV 9.0%. Deep brown colour, off-white head. The aroma has moderate but still distinct notes of liquorice, also malts with a hint of caramel.

    Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    Feb. 2013: 500 ml brown bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.7%. Clear brown colour, moderate off-white head. Strong aroma of damson / plums, over-ripe raspberries and some weird fruity cough syrup I bought in Scotland once. The flavour is fruity and slightly roasty, notes of plums, over-ripe raspberries and cough syrup again. Moderate hops. Pretty weird beer.
