Reviewing from notes...

A: Copper pour with a really large creamy tan head that sinks, slowly into nice lacings.

S: Hops, bitter as well as floral. Lots of fruit and bitterness; apples and quite some berries.

T: Sweet caramell malt, slightly roasted. Lots of English-style hops. Butter and fruit.

M: Carbonation as well as body is medium. Liquid is very smooth, almost buttery. Aftertaste lingers with some sweetness but also bitterness.

O: Nice, well-crafted, but a little bit boring.

The liquid is clear, the colour copper. The two finger head is white. It leaves lots of lacing while sinking.

The smell is hoppy, some exotic fruits with tart hints. Nuts. Gooseberries. Dried fruits. Tree sap.

The taste is beautifully hoppy with hints of tree sap and resin. The bitterness is tight and focused. Light caramel flavours and warming alcohol. The aftertaste brings clean notes of kiwi and nuts. Chemical fruity hints in the finish.

The carbonation is quite strong, the bubbles small. The liquid is dry.

Yet another pleasantly hopped beer from Oppigårds.

The beer is clear amber and has an off-white high head with good lacing and rather small curtains.

The smell is rather citric, grape-fruit and bitter oranges, hay and wet grass.

The taste starts sweet brown bread, with caramel flavors, then rather much lemon, grape-fruit peel and general bitter notes.

Medium high carbonation, small soft bubbles, a good body and a nice dry finish.

A stable Oppigård's ale, hoppy and well balanced.
