April 2018: 330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.5%, 30 IBU. Murky brown colour, small off-white head, some yeast sediment in the bottle. Aroma of banana, caramel and brown bread, hints of cloves and solvent. The flavour has also notes of banana, caramel and cloves, a hint of chocolate, noticeable hops. Nice to drink.

330ml bottle - a collaboration with Weihenstephan, well, la-di-dah!
This beer pours a mostly clear, dark bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy ecru head, which leaves some decent mountain range pattern lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy wheat malt, a further crackery graininess, banana chips, muddled earthy spice, some mixed dark orchard fruitiness, and rather tame leafy, herbal, and lightly perfumed floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser cereal wheatiness, underripe banana peel, a subtle earthy yeastiness, sort of spicy cloves, and more well understated musty, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with the spice maybe taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes off-dry, the blended malt, fruit, and spice all looking to make a lingering day of it.
Overall - this comes across as a genial enough version of the style, all the points hit upon, and with nary a sign of the 13-proof booze factor. I don't know what Weihenstephan brought to the table, exactly, as one would think that Nøgne Ø could do this on their own. Probably, because, duh, Weihenstephan.
