On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Very cloudy orange colour (the cloudiness possibly due to the keg being shaken during transport), moderate white head. Lovely strong aroma of fruity hops (tropical fruits, mango / passion fruit), also some piney notes. The hops are Northern Brewer, Cascade, Citra and Chinook. Loads of aroma hops (including dry hopping) have been used, and not so much bittering hops, according to the brewer. Then it is no surprise that the beer has plenty of fruity and mild piney hop flavour, but not so much bitterness. A little more bitterness would not hurt, even if the more subtle hop flavours remain the focus here. This is still a very enjoyable brew as it is.
