5476 Hardanger Bryggeri Heimhug Norway Schwarzbier 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

440 ml can, from SPAR Norheimsund. ABV is 4.7%. Cola / mahogany colour, huge off-white to beige head. Aroma of roast malts, burnt breadcrumbs and mild coffee. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour has some sweetness, but not too much - otherwise the same elements as the aroma. Roasty and hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Drinkable, but not very exciting.

5487 7 Fjell Snasen Saison Norway Saison 3.1

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

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.
