Flaske 0,33l. Gave fra Rune. Mørk gyldenbrun. Høyt luftig skum som varer. Litt lacing. Skyet. Forsiktig fruktig aroma. Smaken litt tung - men et klart maltpreg. Uvariert. “Pils” var litt misvisende.

Fra fat på Cardinaltreff jan-14: skjønner ikke hvorfor den kalles for pils når den både i farge og styrke er mer som en bokkøl. Kanskje sogningene har tradisjon for mørke og kraftige øl? Lett sødme med karamell og røstet malt både i aroma og smak. Godt humlet. OK uten å være spesielt mineverdig, men lett å helle innpå.

330 ml bottle, as Balder Sognapils Extra, at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Will also be available there on tap for a short time later. ABV is 6.0%. Ruby colour, large off-white head. Sweetish aroma of caramel. Medium sweet flavour with caramel and alcohol, some sharpish bittering hops in the finish. Certainly not a "pils" by any stretch of the mind, but drinkable, if you have nothing better around.
