330 ml bottle, batch #96, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.7%. Gusher bottle, insanely overcarbonated. 1/3 of the content left the bottle before I had a chance to pour.

Flavour of roast malts and coffee, dry. Some bittering hops in the finish. This batch should have been withdrawn from the market.

330 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. Gluten free, ABV is 4.5%. Clear and deep golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of malts and bread, only a hint of fruity hops. Citric mouthfeel. The flavour has again notes of malts and bread, the hops are more earthy than citric, decent bitterness though. Thornbridge is still one of my favourite breweries - this beer, however, does not overwhelmingly support that opinion.

500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Allegedly a Bavarian style wheat beer, but it is brewed with orange peel and coriander, like a Belgian witbier. Nearly clear deep golden to amber colour, small white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, brown bread, hints of over-ripe red fruits. The flavour is moderately malty and fruity, with red and dried fruits more than citrus. Moderate hops. Pleasant to drink. Tastes like a decent English bitter more than anything wheaty. I rate beers on a hedonistic scale, and liked this one - if I rated by style, it would fail.
