500 ml can, from Rema 1000, Tau. ABV is 4.7%. Hazy brownish-orange colour, moderate white head. The aroma should carry notes of sea buckthorn, cloudberries and raspberries, but feels messy and artificial. The flavour is fortunately not too sweet, the fruity notes still feels kind of artificial, but not as extreme as the aroma. A slight hop bitterness in the finish. Not a beer I'll buy again though.
