We have a case in the office of something very similar.

I said that it could be used to kill children (an assertion that did not go down particularly well with people around the table who do not know me very well - including my wife
:D). It tastes and has the mouth-feel of a fruit smoothie.Fekkin dangerous…..

Exactly. I poured it in front of Hottie and she refused to believe it was Beer. The first 70% of the tasting experience it might as well be a freshly made breakfast smoothie, it is only the last 30% that is remotely boozy.
Ingrid’s tasting notes were «it’s a smoothie made with sourdough», which I thought was surprisingly insightful.

Curious, are you able to drink more than one of these? Do you want to? I have never tried it, and know nothing about them…
It has been a rising trend in the US for well over a year, and Norway’s own brewers and importers tend to be a little behind the curve, so we’ve only just started seeing Norwegian brewed versions and the best of the American examples. It occurs to me now that my first meeting with this style was one of the beers @scooter gifted me at the 10th anni party.
Given the above and the fact that this is not my preferred beer profile I only bought one. I’m following it up with a big ass impy stout, so I guess I could drink two, but I’m going to admit to feeling pretty bloated [emoji1]

This was a fun idea that is at least 50% well executed and may turn out to be genius…
A brewer/coffee maker collab, divided into two parts and called “Big Night In”. I had part one last night and had to put off part two until this evening.
Part 1 was an imperial pale at 9.8% abv. Damn tasty... part two is an impy coffee porter. Looking forward to it.

Continuing my Norwegian Mack brewery odyssey, got some different ones to try. Mango one could be interesting?

Also found a can of Amundsen's Dessert in a can, marzipan chocolate shortbread pastry stout.
Might try this at a later date. The price made my head spin. £8 for a 330ml can.
I thought I had learned a lesson from a few years ago when I lived and worked in Norway, never to translate prices. Doing so sucked any fun out of an evening out. No wonder house parties prior to going out on the weekend are popular / obligatory. Get hammered with your pals to cut down on your spending at the pubs in town.
I had a secret weapon when I went out though, a company credit account for entertaining. Long gone are those days I am afraid.

Giles please sneak me a can of that in the next order

@Giles a mere 10.5%…..
