Beer testing at Amundsens

At Amundsen Bryggeri & Spiseri we was invited to a beer test on Friday. 10 cl x 4. (and more if you want to find out more of the intriguing selection of beer).
I tested 4 of the recommended draft beers.
From left:
Nøgne Ø´s Saison 5.2% with 10% weat grain: Nice
Amundsen´s Ocean with taste of Greapfruit. Strange.
Ægir´s Rallar Amble Ale 4,7%. The best in test.
Haandbryggeriet´s Norwegian Wood 6.5% with juniper which tasted like burnt wood or smoke. Very strange.

Usuallly I drink a Hansa Bayer, but the quality Rallar Ale may lead to a change when ordering next time I make a visit to Amundsen.
Btw:
The restaurant has a good kitchen and I can recommend:

Chicken drumsticks with
blue cheese dressing
136,-

A herring plate: blend of heering and egg,
onion, cheese and two types of herring.
Rye bread on the side.
166,-

500 grams of mussels steamed in
Gueze beer, served with French fries
and rouille on the side.
174,-

Klipfish-loins served with cherry tomatoes, French
beans, potatoes, chorizo and beer based gravy.
298,-

Beer braised chicken served with creamy asparagus,
carrots cocked in beer, potatoes and veal gravy.
