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.

Hazed amberish color with a fine off white head. Moderate intensity in the aroma with some Belgian yeast and mild fruity. Medium + body and a fine carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Belgian yeast, pleasant tropical, mild pine and citric hoppy flavor..

Golden with a white head - Hop aroma with some citrus and some hints of yeast - Malt body with hops with some bittertones and yesaty flavours - The holp and yeasty flavours goes into the finish, and some alcohol in the back as well - To much yeasty flavours, still ok

On tap at Rekord Bar, Drammen. Slightly hazy amber with a dense, off-white head. Rather fruity aroma with notes of Belgian yeast, hints of oranges, spices and malt. Medium to moderate sweet with fruity and rather mild hoppy flavours and a fairly light bitterness. Easy to drink and enjoyable enough, but hardly exciting.

Flaske fra polets nettbutikk, hjemme på nyttårsaften: rødlig kobbergylden med fint skum som følger med helt ned. Citrusaroma med litt brød. Deilig, frisk mersmak med citron, appelsin og mandarin. Lett og behagelig bitterhet i ettersmaken. Fint karbonert, dette er gode greier.

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Thanks to Paul. Light haze on this gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Clean malts, modestly sweet. Decently spicy hops with mild pine, skunk and citrus. Airy dry finish. Not bad.

26.12.2015, 0,33l bottle @ home:
Gusher alert! Huge foamy dirty longlasting head. Looks like the bottle is full of hop particles. Aroma is very mild grassy, weeds, grass, unripe cantalopue melon, co2 stinging in the nose, yeast, leafs, citrus peel. Taste is harsh mineraly, weeds, harsh yeast, minerals, bark, harsh hops, leafs, citrus peel, booze, metal tank. Medium bitterness, harsh boozy mouthfeel. Infected crap!

330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Hazy amber body. Steady off-white head. Spotty lacing. Rather rich fruity aroma of orange and lemon. Fresh fruity flavours with orange, pine and a touch of yeasty fruitiness. Bready malts beneath. Dry bitter finish. Soft on the swallow. Fine bodied. Likable version of the style (Tromsø 12.12.2015).

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Paul. Pours unclear gold with a creamy white head. The nose holds peach, melon, grapefruit. Light-medium sweet flavor, some crackery malts, pithy grapefruit, melon, nectarine, light piney bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly rindy on the finish, pale bread, peach, mango. Pleasant.
