330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.6%. Very dark reddish brown colour, large off-white head. Fresh aroma of fruity and piney hops, notes of tropical fruits on a background of lightly roasted malts. Fruity and piney flavour on a more distinct background of roast malts with dry coffee notes, resinous and bitter finish.

A 330ml bottle with a best before date of March 2016 and poured into an oversized wine glass.
Appearance: It poured a clear dark brown colour with a slightly less than one finger tanned head that dissipated quickly leaving spotty lacing.
Aroma: Pine, citrusy orange juice followed by cocoa and toffee.
Taste: Lightly bitter with citrus orange, cocoa, chocolate and pine.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with low to medium carbonation but on the watery side.
Overall: Was hoping for more hoppy bitterness and it was definitely on the thin side. Too watery for my liking.
