Draft at FOB. Pours beautiful reddish brown, fairly transparent, with moderate white foam, very fine. Aroma is herbaceous, tropical, fruity. Body is very dense with good carbonation. Taste is intensely bitter. Some sweetness too, in the back, but buried in all those hops. Finish is long and bitter, maybe excessive.

On tap @ Henrik. This is a blurry reddish copper colored one with a nice really creamy - almost nitro creamy off-white top. Smells really sweet, malty and nice. Light nutty also with dark candied sugar, wood syrup and some red berries. I like this aroma. It's quite nutty in the flavor. No, make that really nutty. Almost a bit like Nutella. Soft really creamy smooth mouthfeel with a soft prickling carbonation level. A bit sweet at first, almost soapy, fruity with red ripe berries. Some nice gentle traces of alcohol in the finish and aftertaste. 05.07.2013

On tap at Henrik, Bergen. The colour is hazy dark reddish amber with a creamy light beige medium head. Sweet aroma of fruity hops, peach and berries. More fruity hops in the flavour with some grapefruit. Still pretty sweet. Has a slick and rich mouth feel, and a medium bitterness. Is a balanced and nice ale.

Sample at the Aficionado’s "Hidden Gems" beer tasting on 05/24/2013: Pours a reddish-amber color with a medium thick creamy light beige head that diminishes slowly. Sticky rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt, nutmeg and citrus. Medium to full body with flavors of bready malt, ripe fruit, spice and resiny hops. The finish is fruity and malty. Above average overall.

550 ml bottle purchased @ Julio’s Liquors back in December 2012. Dark muddy red/ brown color. Aroma is sweet and very malty with noticeable Simcoe pine. Taste was actually much like the nose, tons of caramel malt and a sharp hop edge created from the Simcoe. Strong notes of pine with a resinous kick of bitterness. Taste is medium to full bodied, balanced carbonation. I feel the hops really dominated the malt and the resin is a bit harsh. Had I let it get more age, perhaps the hops to malt ratio would balance better. Right now a bit harsh.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur ambrée-orangée foncée et voilée. Nez malté de caramel sucré aux notes terreuses et rôties, de houblon fruité (agrumes, léger de marmelade), moyennement résineux, légèrement citrique, floral et herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture moyennement huileuse et légèrement résineuse. Goût moyennement amer de houblon fruité (agrumes, moyen de marmelade, notes d’abricots), légèrement citrique aux notes herbeuses, florales et résineuses (une amertume de houblon présente toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de malt sucré du genre caramel sucré, léger de toffee terreux avec des notes de biscuits, de grains de malt sucrés et rôtis. En finale, l’amertume de houblon se fait plus intense, en affichant un caractère plus herbeux, résineux et aux notes asséchantes en plus d’être appuyée par des notes d’alcool. Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyen-amer de houblon résineux, fruité (zeste d’agrumes, notes de marmelade), légèrement citrique et aux notes florales avec un résiduel de malt sucré (caramel) aux notes rôties.
