May 2014: Shared bottle at local tasting. Deep orange to reddish amber colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of slightly unfresh orange marmalade. Medium sweet flavour, notes of piney hops, again unfresh orange marmalade. Drinkable, but not Oppigård’s best.

My rating No. 12000 at RB. 500 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.1%. Pale golden colour, large to moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of various citrus fruits and tropical fruits. Lagerish mouthfeel - no wonder, as this is a lager. Hoppy flavour, notes of grapefruit with a decent bitterness.

500 ml can, from Coop Extra Sauda. ABV is 4.3%. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, crushed gooseberries and some citrus. Smooth flavour with the same elements as the aroma, moderate to low bitterness, refreshing and easy drinking. Might well buy again.

355 ml clear bottle, bought in Denmark. ABV is 4.5%. Clear pale golden colour, moderate white head. Strong sweetish Heineken-like lightstruck aroma, notes of maize. The flavour (as far as there is any flavour at all) has maize, grain and wet cardboard. Some weak citric notes, a little sweetness, minimal hops. As the beer is wet, cold and carbonated, it may serve some purpose under the Mexican sun - otherwise, it is one to forget.

330 ml clear bottle, from Coop Extra Sauda. Clear and pale golden colour, moderate to low white head. Sweetish aroma of maize, malts and newmown grass. Tastes like sparkling water with a little maize, malts and sugar added, a hint of citrus. Minimal hops. Gets a couple points for not tasting awful. An alternative to water when you have to drive.

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.

355 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.5%. Nearly clear pink to red colour, moderate but shortlived off-white to pink head. Aroma of guava, hibiscus and strawberries. Thin moutheel. Flavour with the same elements as the aroma, but not very sweet nor sour, hardly any bitterness. Drinkable, but boring and uninteresting.

440 ml can, as 71 TWR Two Way Radio, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.5%. Moderately hazy golden colour, moderate white head. Weird aroma of broth, vomit and sewage, gets a bit better after a while in the glass, a hint of citrus and grass in the background. Medium sweet and malty flavour, some citric and piney hops in the finish. Drinkable, but hardly a beer I'll buy again.

June 2015: 355 ml bottle, vintage 2013, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. BB date 31.05.2014. Amber colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of fruity and piney hops, rye bread and pepper. Hoppy and peppery flavour, grapefruity notes, but also sufficient malts, again with hints of rye bread. Good now, but probably even better when fresh.

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.

355 ml bottle, in Nevada City. Reddish brown colour. Has the typical West Coast hop aroma and flavour, with notes of citrus and pine, but also some nice nutty notes from the malts, which contributes to a lovely balance. Another good beer from Sierra Nevada!

June 2015: 355 ml bottle, vintage 2013, BB date 31.05.2014, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 10.4%. Orange colour, slightly hazy. Large head, slightly off-white. Strong hoppy aroma, notes of orange marmalade and pine needles. Very sweet and very bitter flavour, fruity and piney hops galore, but the sweetness and bitterness are nearly too much for me.
