0,5L bottle, BB 07.06.2015. Pours hazy amber with big white head. The head stays for a long time. Nice lacing. Aroma is intense hops, fruits, citrus, pine, grass, sweetness in the background. The taste is of course fruity, but also floral, sweet, caramel, citrus, some nice bitterness. It really reminds the mandarins a little bit! Finish has also bitterness and hints of sweetness. It’s also a little creamy. Overall: I really like this one. I was afraid that it’ll be just "sweet grapefruit", but it’s not. Very good IPA.

Bottled 500ml @Konttori batch #991
Hazy deep orange color, goos steady beige head. Strong "hop oily" aroma, similar gooseberry bush than in Sorachi Ace, or maybe it’s mandarin! Medium-bodied. Quite malty beer with fruity, a bit candyish base with pine needles and citrus.

Keg at the Tap East Second Anniversary Party - Stratford, London. Cheers, Kenny! Pours cloudy, rich gold with a creamy, white head. Sweet and bready, with notes of caramel and ripe orange. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with ripe orange and other citrus fruits, more bread and mild caramel. It’s a tasty beverage but it lacks grace.

Tap East Birthday Bash. Keg. Very hazy amber beer with a small white head. Palate is smooth with good fine minerally carbonation. Light malt cream and a little lactose. Hops are indeed quite mandarin along with a little tangerine and a touch of orange. Whisper of lemon. Smooth and lightly crisp finish. If this had had more hop intensity it would have been stellar, but it is a tasty IPA.

Fra fat på Cardinaltreff okt-13: mandarin på alle bauger og kanter, men ikke av den søte sorten vi får til jul, men passelig bitter for et øl. Interesting, som en engelskmann muligens ville sagt. Ser frrem til å prølve flere øl laget med denne humlen.

50 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori. Batch #991, brewed 27.06.2013, BBE 27.06.2015
Aroma is fruity and hoppy with some resiny tones and hints of biscuits. Flavour is sweetish and hoppy with biscuits, caramel, herbal tones and grapefruit. Good, but nothing special.

500 ml bottle, batch #991, from the brewery. Will soon also be available on tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.5%. Cloudy brownish-orange colour, moderate white head. Fresh aroma of Mandarina hops (yes, it smells like mandarins - no cigar for guessing that), also notes of herbs and new-mown grass. The flavour is distinctly fruity but not too sweet, with a solid presence of Mandarina hops throughout. Resinous and grassy finish, medium bitter aftertaste. The alcohol is not particularly well hidden, but not disturbing.
