500 ml can, from Bunnpris Sand. ABV is 4.3%. Pale and nearly clear golden colour, moderate to small white head. Artificial aroma and flavour of pink grapefruit and blood orange - I'll bet that none of these fruits have been near this beer, though. Citric mouthfeel, low bitterness. Nothing here to please a beer entusiast, but the beer is not undrinkable, as it is wet and cold. In a blind test, I could have guessed that this was a radler / shandy.

500 ml can, from Bunnpris Sand. ABV is 4.5%. Clear amber colour, moderate head, slightly off-white. Aroma of caramel and the peel of red apples. Citric mouthfeel. The flavour has again notes of the peel of red apples, some caramel but not very sweet. Bland finish, hardly any bitterness. Won't buy again.

330 ml slimline can, from Coop Extra Sauda. ABV is 4.7%. Clear pink colour, moderate off-white to pink head. Aroma and flavour of a neutral pale lager diluted with water and splash of a bog standard rosé wine. No bitterness, bland as hell, needless to say I won't buy again.

330 ml clear bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Hazy pink colour, small off-white head, poor retention. Aroma of lactic acid and over-ripe raspberries. Very sour flavour, loads of lactic acid, way too sour, unbalanced. Notes of over-ripe raspberries again. Another totally unbalanced beer from Norway's most overrated brewery.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.7%. Clear and deep reddish brown colour, small and short-lived off-white head. Aroma of lactic acid and vinegar, notes of blackcurrants and oak. Like all beers I've had from this brewery, the flavour is way too sour, with lactic acid and vinegar galore, but at least there is some complexity here. Distinct notes of oak and blackcurrants.

500 ml can, from Joker Vatlandsvåg. ABV is 4.5%. Very pale golden colour, moderate to small white head. Strong aroma of mango, both real mango and artificial "mango" esters. Thin mouthfeel. Flavour of citrus and mango with some "artificial" notes, not too sweet, a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Far from great, but not undrinkable when cold.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.2%. 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.

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.

750 ml bottle, harvest 2021, from Vinmonopolet Etne. ABV is 7% (2020 harvest was apparently 7.5%). Very pale straw colour, pours sparkling with a moderate but shortlived white head. Pleasant and typical "spicy" aroma of Gravenstein apples. Semi-dry flavour of Gravenstein apples, thinner body than expected. A fairly nice cider though.

330 ml can, batch #166, from Vinmonopolet Ølen. ABV is 5.5%. Opaque "dirty orange" colour, moderate white head. Aroma of mango and guava, no surprises there. Fruity and sour flavour, mango and guava again, notes of lactic acid, hints of lemons, a pinch of salt. Okay to drink, but not much here to remind you that this is a beer.

On tap at ZIP 4020. Opaque yellow colour, moderate white head. Pleasant juicy aroma and flavour of citrus and tropical fruits, some sweetness but not too much, moderate to low bitterness, hints of pine needles, well balanced. Lovely to drink in the sunshine on the patio at Stadionparken.

On tap at ZIP 4020. Opaque yellow colour, moderate white head. Juicy aroma and flavour of citrus and tropical fruits, hints of pine, oatmeal and "spicy" hops - but unfortunately with too much lactose. Listen, ye gentlemen of Jåttå Gårdsbryggeri: when you have brewed a good IPA at a sturdy 8% ABV, you are not required to kill it with lactose. Just to let you know. Okay, the beer is indeed drinkable as it is, but would be even better with a less generous amount of lactose.

375 ml bottle, shared with my son at ZIP 4020. Golden colour, moderately sparkling. Remarkably fresh, "spicy" and well balanced aroma and flavour of Rubinstep apples and crushed red gooseberries. Might well buy again, at the cidery or at Vinmonopolet.

330 ml stubby bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.8%. Hazy deep brown colour, moderate off-white to beige head, poor retention. Aroma of pale chocolate malts, thin coffee, chocolate and a hint of orange zest, but less than expected. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavour with the same elements as the aroma, not too sweet, the orange notes are more distinct now, moderate bittering hops in the finish. Not bad, but could have been better.
