2326 | Birra Roma Chiara | Italy | Helles / Dortmunder | 2.8
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5 330 ml bottle, brewed at Staropramen. From Det Gode Brygg, Sandnes. ABV is 4.7%. Clear golden colour, large to moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts, a hint of broth in the background. The flavour is more malty than hoppy, but not too sweet. Drinkable, but not very interesting. |

2329 | Anchor IPA | United States | IPA | 3.7
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 355 ml bottle, from Prima Beer, Hobro. ABV is 6.5%. Amber colour, moderate off-white head. Pleasant aroma of tropical fruits (fruity hops), hints of perfume and exotic woodwork, also spicy notes. Hoppy and moderately sweet flavour, notes of grapefruit as expected, but also earthy, spicy and herbal notes, with hints of blackcurrant leaves. Bitter aftertaste. Is this a blend of English and American hops? |

2338 | Eik & Tid Kimær | Norway | Wild Ale | 2.4
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 330 ml clear bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.8%. Beautiful clear red colour, small off-white pinkish head dies instantly. Fairly decent aroma of red berries. Like all beers from this brewery, the flavour has plenty of lactic acid, but this one is not nearly as extreme as the other beers I've had from them. Notes of sour red berries, particularly redcurrants. As expected no flavour of malts and hops. Not undrinkable, but I will not waste any more money on beers from this brewery. Of the 11 beers I've had, none of them have tempted me to buy again. |

Hazy pink to purple colour, moderate off-white pinkish head that's there and gone in seconds. Aroma of lactic acid and over-ripe red berries, esp. raspberries, hints of stale saltwater ponds. The flavour is way too sour, lactic acid galore, over-ripe and unfresh raspberries, some salt. Nearly undrinkable, drainpour for me. |
