Draft @ Barborteur Beerdays #1, 14.5.2016. Fin orangé, col beige. Arôme est une sorte de patchwork de houblons fermentés entre tropical, noble, fruits sec. Palais est malté, pâle avec un côté confus de houblons qui sortent entre râpeux, huileux et sorte de popsickle et tonne d’agrumes. Herbacé, pamplemousse, pointe épicée avec un fini abricot.

Gylden brun klar med høyt beige skum. Lukter sydhavsfrukt, alkohol, gjær og noe skog. En litt merkelig lukt jeg ikkekjenner igjen. Søtlig, fruktig smak, grape, fersken og en lett bitterhet.

Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, spices. Tastes slightly sweet, well balanced. Some alcoholic warmth. Lacks hop bitterness for being an IPA, but still a nice beer.

330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.5%. Hazy brownish golden colour, moderate white head. Lots of yeast sediment in the bottle. Aroma of citrussy American hops and Belgian yeast. The flavour has first some fruity sweetness, followed by bittering hops and woody and yeasty notes. I am not sure that the brewery’s singlemindedness regarding yeast is a good idea.
