currant events

The Belgians are known for using fruit to flavor their beers, but one day I came upon a Norwegian variety.  Norwegian beer isn't around every corner here, and red currants?  All the more interesting to me.  It seems to be unfiltered, as there are chunks of ... stuff floating around in there.  Not alarming chunks, just what one tends to see in unfiltered ales.  The beer has a pretty rosy tint and is a little cloudy in general.  The smell isn't strong at all.  The taste is interesting; it's a bitter ale but with a sharp bite from the currants.  Many fruit beers get away with a lot of sweet, but not Rips.  A nice glass of this beer, chilly, would be a fine thirst quencher for me on a Madrid summer evening, though.  The astringency is quite a pick-me-up.
