This is an ale that is not afraid of standing tall among other great beers. The intense, sharp and fruity hoppiness is backed by its complex, caramel-like malty structure. Big, yet refreshing. Bold but balanced. This beer has been designed to have it all, to be the greatest common denominator.

Red ale. Nice colour - red/brown, decent body, medium bitterness, solid malt. OK but not quite rich enough for me. 440ml can.

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7%. Cloudy amber to brown colour, large and creamy off-white head. Lovely aroma of fruity (particularly grapefruit) and piney American hops (Warrior, Columbus, Simcoe, Amarillo). The flavour is distinctly piney and resinous, the hops immediately take command of the malts in the background. Not very sweet, dry and bitter finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tall Poppy on 16 Feb 2021 at 15:19 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.

Bottle from Aeon Liquor! Aroma is biscuity malt, pink grapefruit, hint of booze. Taste is great, pink grapefruit is up front, maltiness is there too, bit of biscuit, caramel and light spiciness. Really easy to drink. No hint of the alcohol in the taste. Great stuff.
