Citrus fruits shine through, delivering zesty notes of kumquat, mandarin, and exotic indio-mandarinquat. A gentle hop bitterness and subtle hibiscus tang add depth and intrigue.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering citrus flavors gradually giving way to a pleasant vinegar tang. Honey sweetness persists, balanced by a subtle hop bitterness. A hint of warming alcohol reminds you of the Viking heritage, while leaving a clean, refreshing sensation that invites another sip.
