Pours light amber, bitt of foam. Aroma is softly hoppy, malt base is clear in the background, providing also some sweetness. Taste is also mildly hoppy, not really a hop bomb but has still some tingle going on. Malt caramel is abundant,and finish has some more dry hop bitterness lingering for a while. Better than I expected from a cheap COSTCO beer actually.

Very hazy dark amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and has a minerally crisp bite. Tangy thin malts, touches of cream and caramel. Ripe fruits. A little hop spice and floral bitterness. Light finish. Wow! What a disappointment. Where are the big juicy NZ hops? Why is this beer so dark? Lame.

Pint at Brewer’s Co-operative. Funky fruity notes stand out against the dark background. Very clean with an almost sour finish.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Offie and Toffee. Pours light,y hazy orange with a frothy topping. The nose has crackers malts, faded pine, ripe citrus, a little marmalade. Medium sweet flavor with strong bready and crackers malts, stewed citrus fruits, piney bitterness, berries, a little grass. Medium to full bodied, with fine to average carbonation. Finishes lightly resinous, subtly warming, with more lightly aged pine, citrus, melon, tangerine, oily pine. This one feels a bit faded overall, although there are still some juicy elements here.

Fra flaske på Mi2, Cardinal (Asko Rogaland ølmesse): klar lys gylden med fint ok skum. En tydelig definert pilsner med god, tørr bitterhet preget av gress og (litt for mye) kokte grønnsaker. Må prøves igjen.
