Flaske fra polet: Så kjekt med et nytt norsk mikrobryggeri! En lett og fin kopibelgier som kan nytes i mange sammenhenger. Ingen skarpe kanter, men heller ingen stor personlighet. Fra fat på Kooperativen Nordsiden, Hønefoss: alt for kort skum. Aroma av belgisk gjær, litt krydder, fløtekaramell, mørk kandis og noe metallisk. Dette går også igjen i smaken (det metalliske i ettersmaken). Einar, Kitty og jeg endte opp med hvert vårt 0,4 glass, og alle var fornøyde.
