Bottle: Poured a cloudy amber/orangey color ale with a medium size foamy head with good carbonation. Aroma consists of citrus and bitter hops with a caramel touch. Taste is a mix between some citrus, pine and bitter hops with notes of caramel malt with well balanced sweetness. Body is quite full with medium carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well brewed but missing the hops punch associated with this style.

Bottle 330ml @ Patricks Pub og Restaurant, Kristiansand
Pours cloudy orange/amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, biscuit, bread and pine. Taste is meidum sweet and light to medium bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Thin white head quickly disappears. Hazy deep red body with floaties. Sugary malty aroma with tropical fruit, resin, citrus, mint, and alcohol notes. Dry-sweet tropical fruit and resin taste with linoleum notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish mouthfeel. Dryish herbal old books aftertaste with citric fruity perfumy alcohol notes. Nice, and tastes aged, but a bit sharp and hot. (0.33l bottle at Amundsen, Oslo.)

330 ml bottle @ Patricks. Hazy orange body with a big, white head. Aroma is bread, yeast, malt and fruit, not specially citric. Flavor is sweet malt, yeast, fruit and medium bitterness. Medium body. OK, but not to impressive, rather medium all the way.

12oz bottle pours a hazy, translucent deep burnt orange with some lacing, creamy white head. Nose is very sweet and sugary, honey, caramel, almost a Belgian candy sugar aroma, estery, some citrus, pine, but mostly just a candy sweetness. Flavor is similar, an artificial sweetner type flavor, agave nectar, some grapefruit candy, limes. Full body, sticky but bitter finish. Not a huge fan.
