Bottle. Pours a hazy orange body with an off-white cask-style head. Rather boring but not foul aroma with a biscuity, toffee aroma. Some fruity notes as well. Thin in the mouth, with a toffeeish, fruity flavor. There’s a citric sourness to it as well, but not in an infected way. An easy-to-drink beer, but I’d rather have a fuller, more tasteful beer and drink fewer, than downing eight pints of this one. Its refreshing qualities makes it a nice summerbeer I think, even though I drank it in the winter. (080329)

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Amber to brown colour, moderate head. Moderate aroma and flavour of "dusty" malts, the hops I expected to "tickle" my tastebuds seem barely to be present. Dry and "dusty" finish. Not really a bad beer, but boring.

500 ml bottle from "Wessex Craft Brewers" (now Integrated Bottling Solutions), courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6%. Sediment in the bottle, some floaties in the glass, but the cider is otherwise fairly clear. Deep golden colour. Some fizziness when poured, but no lasting head. Very nice aroma of cider apples, fermenting fruits and oak. The mouthfeel is rather fizzy and surprisingly "thin" for a 6% cider made from 100% apple juice. Flavour of cider apples (no surprise!), quite dry. Not bad though.

500ml bottle. A bit dim orange body with a fine off-white head. Aroma is vague malty with peaches, rather fruity aroma. Flavor is fruity as well, malt, slightly bitter and traces of yeast. No big deal but quite nice just for the toast!

Bottle. Slightly unclear golden beer with a minimal, off-white head. Weak malty nose with a little fruityness. Rather boring. The flavor continues in the same way, weak and quite boring that is. Malty, fruity, a bit chalky flavor. Some citrusy notes from the hops, but not much bitterness. Medium body, and a finish with fruityness doing most of the job, but getting some help from malt and bitterness, and the chalkyness found initially too. Sure not a big beer, but for a long drinking session, it would be nice. (080124)
