Big light brown shiny lasting head over lovely red-amber body. Perfumy fruity malty aroma with caramel notes. Dryish papery perfumy fruity taste with papery caramel notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Fullish body. Dry aftertaste of dried fruit with wooden metallic notes. Interesting background sweetness throughout. Quite nice, but a bit perfumy. [0.5l bottle, Lørenskog Brus Shop, Oslo.]

500ml bottle at Blå Rock Cafe with a burger called Dead Kennedy’s. Amber body with brilliant clarity. Moderate, off-white head. Sweet malty to the nose with hints of hard water. Hoppy flavour, more sweet than bitter. Quite well bodied (Tromsø, 17.10.2008).

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Clear amber to brown colour, moderate head. Moderate aroma with notes of malts and bread, just some faint hints of caramel, sulphur and fruity hops. The flavour has some nutty malts, and the fruity hops are more pronounced. A hint of toffee too, and a moderate bitterness in the finish. It is quite obvious that this is not a "live" beer.
