Nose: Rich and fresh malty notes, followed by pencil shavings and creamy vanilla. With time hints of orchard fruits and red berries.

Taste: Medium body and sweetness. Malty with distinct notes of vanilla and - again - pencil shavings.

Finish: Short to medium long finish. More malt, more pencil shavings, more vanilla. Green notes of cut grass and tomato vine as well. Surprisingly creamy all the way - almost buttery in the end.

Comment: More Norwegian malt to the people!
