On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Hazy deep golden to orange colour, moderate white head. Fairly strong aroma of Belgian ale yeast, fruity and spicy notes. Refreshing flavour, not too sweet. Belgian ale yeast again, more spicy than fruity. The mouthfeel could have been fuller - but then the beer would probably not be 4.5% ...

A cloudy, slightly orange-yellow beer with an almost medium and blond head. Aroma of fruits, oranges, aromatic, earthy sourness and spices. Overally, the aroma is fresh and fruitfull, surprisingly strong and complex, also saison feelings. Taste is fruitfull, quite feisty of spices, slightly sour and and also bitterness, a bit short taste. Light+ bodied, lots of carbonation, fresh but a bit the light to drink. The refreshning and complex, saison like beer, tastefull.

(Bottle, 0.5 l - batch 478, from K Supermarket Kamppi, 20120920) The beer poured deep amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized, white and fizzy. Aroma had fruitiness, spices, malts and sourness. Palate was quite thin bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness. spices, sourness, musty maltiness, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, sour and bitter. A very saison-like beer. I would have preferres less musty taste and fuller body but otherwise this was a very good beer.

Flaske fra ICA, batch 478, (brygget 25.5.12): Højt skum som varer og flott gylden farge. Mye liv i glasset. Tydelig belgisk aroma i det jeg skjenker, krydder og gjær med frisk citrus. Smaken har fin blanse mellom sødme, syre og bitterhet. Lett å drikke. Et riktig så godt butikkøl som jeg kommer til å kjøpe flere ganger. Fra fat på Cardinal des-12: lite karbonert og med en metallisk, ufrisk ettersmak jeg ikke husker fra flaskeversjonen.
