440 ml can, Cardinal Pub, Stavanger. ABV is 8%. Moderately hazy pink to peachy colour, some floaties, large off-white (pink-ish) head.

3085 Lade Gaard Blanc Norway Fruit Beer 2.5

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 4

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.
