Rerate, 330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet. Gusher bottle. Same impression as first sample. Too yeasty. Original rating: Small sample from 330 ml bottle at Vectura-messe, sampled too warm. Blonde colour. Yeasty, spicy and fruity aroma. The flavour appears a bit too yeasty for me, but that may be due to the temperature. Light bodied for its strength. Will sample again, and re-rate then.
