Bottle. A slightly hazy golden beer with a medium sized off-white head. Mellow citrusy nose with malt and caramel blending in. Fruity start on the flavor, mostly citrus, but also a touch of tropical fruits and canned fruits. Low on malty flavors. Some caramel and roasted notes though. Quite thin on the body, but not watery. Citrusy finish with some hoppy bitterness.Malty sweetness in the very end. A refreshing and easy drinkable beer, typical all-nighter, but far from standing out in the crowd. And the name is a bit bragging, more suited for an imperial stout than for a session-style bitter. Rating: 5-4-5-3-11-2.8. (080720)

Bottle. It pours a clear, dark golden body, topped by a finger-thick off-white head leaving some lacings. Caramel maltyness and a gentle fruity hoppyness in the aroma. Citrus and tropical fruits too. There seems to be a touch of butterscotch too. Mostly fruity in the mouth, with orange, pears and some plum. Malty sweet in the back. Some bitterness lingering. Medium, smooth mouthfeel. Low on co2, like a casked beer that was opened yesterday. The beer slides down easily and sure doesn’t taste bad, but it somehow resembles a limonade or soda drink. (081108)

500 ml bottle. Hazy, dark orange body with a small, fast disappearing off-white head. Vague aroma with a hint of caramel. Flavor is malty, with some fruit and caramel. Some hops in finish, but a bit to light is my overall impression.

500 ml bottle, from Integrated Bottling Solutions, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Freeminer may well be the actual brewery, but it is not mentioned on the label. Bottle conditioned, ABV is 4.0%. Deep golden to brown colour with a slight haziness, moderate white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma with floral notes, also some moderate malty / grainy notes. The flavour is moderately fruity and malty with a touch of caramel, some hoppy bitterness in the finish and aftertaste.

copper coloured ale, with a light hoppy nose, vey fizzy, thin and metalicish (irn bru for the scotish) but very nice.3.6 TK 2 almost a different beer. Copper ... sweet hop ... not fizzy like last time ... good grapefrui hop little bitter in linger 3.4; so averaging

(Bottle 50 cl) This one credited to "Integrated Bottling Solutions" - not Freeminer. Pours a hazy amber with a handsome, off-white head with a good retention. Discreet aroma of nuts. Fairly light-bodied with lots of flavour: nuts, caramel and a hint of citrus. Dry finish without being overly bitter. A nice Bitter. 020806

A hazy orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast and fruit. The flavor is very yesty and malty on a slight sour background before a good hoppy end sets in.

Bottled. Pale golden with firm head. Flowery smokey nose. Firm, rounded soft maltiness with a body and mouthfeel reminding of a good German Helles, even though English barley is used here. Quite bitter finish witha hint of tobacco. A discrete, introvert beer, very pleasant throughtout, never pushy or intimidating, nor average or boring.

Amber-orange colour, cloudy, poor head.Nice fruity aroma, not too strong (banana, abricot, ...). Sudden aggression of hop in the mouth; smooth, drinkable, no malt taste. Good bitter final, only partially aromatic.
