Jan. 2018: 500 ml bottle, from Ales By Mail. ABV is 5.5%. Brown colour, slightly hazy. Huge and lasting off-white head. Malty aroma, hints of lightly roasted malts too, some fruity and piney hops. The flavour has also decent malts, but is rather dry. Fairly distinct piney and grapefruity (American?) hops. Decent beer, but the the style is not very "British", nor very "Christmassy".

750 ml corked bottle, 2019 vintage, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 11%. Clear colourless, nearly like water. No carbonation. Aroma of meadowsweet and Williams pears. Medium sweet flavour, very distinct notes of meadowsweet on a background of sweet perry. Interesting, but not something I'm likely to buy again. A little carbonation would have helped.

April 2017: 330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.9%. Golden colour, moderate to low white head. Sweetish "industrial" aroma, hints of maize, malts and over-cooked vegetables.

May 2012: 330 ml bottle, from NETTO. ABV is 5.7%. Golden colour, large to medium white head. The aroma has first some sweetish malts and grassy and herbal hops, and is better than I feared - then the usual Harboe notes of wet cardboard set in. The flavour is first sugary sweeet, then I get a hint of grassy hops, before the finish with dust and cardboard. Sure, my expectations were low, but I suppose Harboe would be capable of making an even worse show of it. At least the beer was cheap ...

Light bodied of course, citric mouthfeel. The flavour is moderately citric and grainy, fairly dry, but there are no unpleasant off-flavours.
