Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 24.11.14. Copper. Dense.off-white head. Aroma and taste of grape fruit, American hops, dark toffee and amber malt. Not quite in harmony with itself.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff juni-13: tårnhøjt skum, denne er tydeligvisoverkarbonert. Syrlighet fra rugmalt og sjokoladepreg fra sjokolademalten. Skarp i kantene. Følte røykmaltpreg i starten, men det forsvant og ble erstattet av noe gressaktig. Ingen suksess ved min ende av bordet. Nytt forsøk på Cardinal M2 nov-14: flott utseende - ravgylden med fint skum. Men kjedelig og emmen i smaken.

Fizzy ved skjenking. Harpiks og malt, jeg savner litt mer typisk amerikansk humle, men den er både typerett og velbrygget, lell. Bra denne.

Shared 500 ml bottle at local tasting. ABV is 4.5%. Dark amber to red colour, moderate off-white head. Pleasant aroma of fruity and piney American hops, also notes of woodwork and lightly roasted malts. The flavour is not too sweet and not too dry, moderately roasted malts dominate, but fruity and piney American hops are also present. Roasty and dry aftertaste.
