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.

Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a super large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of earthy hops notes with solid caramel malt backbone. Taste is also dominated by earthy hops with light citrus notes with some solid caramel malt with balanced sweetness level. Body is full with nice creamy texture and great carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Solid offering form 8 Wired.

Red-amber colour, with thick and slightly rocky head. Earthy aroma with lots of crystal malt and some fruity hops that have at this point begun to fade. Earthy character has lots of bitterness and rich crystal/caramel malt complexity. Long finish is really only a little bit chewy.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff feb-12: den tredje av de fire vi prøvde fra 8 Wired. Disse gjorde det til en super aften, det ene høydepunktet ble avløst av det neste. Denne var litt uklar, ravbrun med mye skum, med aroma og smak som var preget av furunål og grapefrukt fra Warrior, Columbus, Simcoe, Amarillo. Tørr og bitter avslutning har Sigmund notert.

Bottle, 7%. Slightly spicy aroma, smells like a rough bitterness. Almost clear red chestnut colour. Small stable creamy tan head. The flavour is nutty, slightly salty, boozy. Good clean bitterness. Too much alcohol in my opinion.

Hazy dark amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Softish palate, fine carbonation. Slightly dry. Nice creamy malt base, smooth. Great piney hops with lesser orange and grapefruit. Trace of mango. Finishes creamy and semi dry. Well joined up. Sweet peach in the finish as well!

Bottle @ home, shared with the gf. No matter how slow you pour it, a huge, dense, lasting white head will form. The head doesn’t shrink.. Im getting thirsty. The beer itself is hazy amber coloured. Smells some orange peel, hops, slightly sweet, slightly grapefruit, malts. Tastes mandarin, slightly chocolate, some hops, malts and even a bit roasty. Quite a special combination of flavours. Thin to medium body, soft carbo.

(Bottle) Lovely looking beer: clear ruby tinted brown with big beige head. Subtle but very nice aroma of fruit (stone fruit). Medium bodied and quite well carbonated giving very good mouthfeel. Well balanced flavour starting with nice combination of rich toffee caramel maltiness and fruity tang transitions to an assertive but very nice hoppy bitterness which persists for a long finish. An impressive beer.
