Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

37,5 cl bottle, bought at Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4%. Lovely deep red color, nice whitepink head. Aroma is berries and oak. Flavor has not much sourness, but very fine sweetness from the berries. Half dry finish. A bit thin, maybe because this is 4%, not 5%.
Shared bottle courtesy of tarjei. Clear ruby with a white, creamy film and bubbly rim. Fudge and cherries aroma. Fresh acidic, cherries with a sugary, malty finish. Watery texture but the carbonation prickles the tongue with an astringent acidity.
Clear glowing red with a big pink head. Aroma is moderate sweet, cherries and very light sour - balsamic. Flavor is quite sweet and moderate acidic. Fairly dry and acidic finish but far from astringent. A bit too sweet. 180311
