Feb. 2016: 500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. BB date 04.04.14. ABV is 4.2%. Golden colour, nearly clear. Moderate white head. Aroma of malts, dust, bread and some citrus. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is medium dry, and very drinkable due to a moderate citrussy fruitiness throughout. The malts reveal that the beer is not very fresh, but it is still decent enough. Moderate hops in the aftertaste.

Poured a clear, amber colour. Smelled of cereal malts and earthy hops. Tasted a bit like it smelled, malty and sweet, a bit grainy, mellow earthy and bitter hops. Malty and crisp overall.

Brewed to celebrate the 20 years of brewing done at Hobsons.
500ml bottle: BBD 4th Apr 2014, poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged vase shaped glass in my back garden on 10th Jul 2013.
Pale and golden with a good, deep snow white foaming head on top. Plenty of carbonisation bubbles rising through the body. Lacing clung to the vase as the beer level fell.
Hops in the nose: spicy rather than floral or citrusy. What malt aroma was weak and light, biscuity and bready.
The taste was tangy with a citrus hint below the spicy hops already mentioned in the smell. The lemon (citrusy) feel comes alive more as the beer warms in the glass. Grass and grain notes too, as the malts try to assert themselves within the flavours.
OK for me: I prefer darker, maltier brews but this is refreshing and suited the warm sunny weather I drank it in.
