3.1 Kiwanda is that rare Cream Ale that is extremely approachable but doesn't feel gimmicky. Pale straw color. The aroma could almost fool you into thinking this is a light pale ale given the citrusy hop notes. This beer's body is light to the point of being watery, but it is refreshing and the flavor has a pleasantly sweet creaminess without being cloying. It wouldn't be a go-to for me, but I could drink it again.

2.8 Small fast dissipating head Light aroma Clear yellow tint Fresh wheaty taste with light effervescence.

2.9 Tap @ Bakgården Både &. Slightly unclear golden body with a small, lacing white head. Weak aroma of grain, yeast and hint of popcorn. Flavor is light, pale malt, grain, refreshing mild acidity, yeast, moderate bitterness and hint of butter/rubber. Medium body and aftertaste. Drinkable but pretty dull and probably a bit off as well.
