500ml bottle at home. Pours clear dark amber with a thin long lasting head. Citrus and caramel aromas, good bitter taste, light sweetness. Creamy texture, crisp finish, if a little thin.

Bottle. A clear, golden to amber beer with a dense, finger-thick light beige colored body. The aroma is on the malty side, caramel and bread spring to mind, kept company by some fruityness. There’s a nice bitterness in the flavor, as well as the caramel and bread maltyness and fruity hints known from the aroma. Medium body, quite dry, with a pleasant, soft carbonation. Some bitterness in the end. Tasteful, easy drinkable and quite pleasant, but not the most interesting beer on the market. The ABV level of course has something to do with that. 121130

Bottle at Tom’s. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of caramel, candy and red fruits. Flavour of sweet caramel, herbs, wood and earth. Thin body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation. Sits somewhere between a Bitter and an an Amber Ale. Just alright.

Head: off-white/light beige, medium, frothy, below avg. retention. Colour: dark copper, clear.
Aroma: citrus, tropical fruit, light malt/bread, caramel. Taste: fruit caramel, spicy hops, low to average bitterness.
Nice and hoppy, light but not watery. Must be a good session beer.

50cl bottle in Lebowskis. Pours a lovely amber colour with a reasonable head. The nose has some biscuit aroma as well as a little lemon zest coming through. The taste is very similar and although a light beer the citrus and the biscuits really is in harmony. The palate is light to medium in body with a nice refreshing finish. I really like this as a session ale. Very balanced.

500ml Bottle: poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 1 Mar 2013. BBD of May 2013. Being a Scottish Red Ale: it has, as you’d expect a red hue to its colour, although ’dirty dish water brown’ might actually be a better discription in this instance. My beer had a cloudy disposition as well. The head looked good though, off-white foam blanket of a good thickness (Tog 3). Sweet nose of toffee apples with a floral overtone: this carries on into the taste, caramel notes up the sweetness but luckily some hop bitterness calms it down somewhat, but it is still a sweet tasting brew. Red berries in the mix too: I quite liked it actually. Different and interesting: might be too sweet for some. Pity about the misty look, otherwise I’d be scoring a bit higher.

Medium offwhite head. Clear red body. Roasty dusty spicy aroma with nutty earthy notes. Dry-sweetish roasty caramelly spicy taste with perfumy minty notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, dusty mouthfeel. Dryish perfumy nutty caramelly aftertaste with dusty roasty notes. Very nice and highly drinkable. Excellent session beer. (0.5l bottle, Centra Majorstuen, Oslo.)

500ml bottle picked up at Centra Colosseum in Oslo and shared with Finn back home. Deep, dark amber coloured body. Firm and lasing off-white, bubbly head. Decent lacing. Brown malts to the nose with hints of grainy chocolate. Mid-sweet dark malts added by a resin-like touch to the taste buds. Dry bittersweet ending. Slightly oily textured. Satisfying (Tromsø, 20.09.2012).
