500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 5.5%. Brewed with American Chinook and Columbus hops. Golden colour, large foamy head. Pleasant hoppy aroma and flavour, both with notes of citrus and dry white wine. Bitter finish. Okay beer, but I’d like the malts to come through too.

12 oz bottle. Amber color with creamy tan head. Decent lacing. The light aroma was sweet caramel malts, some fruitiness and a whispery hint of hops. Healthy malt flavor with caramel and toffee. This sound flavor mix is quickly threatened by a rumbling of hop bitterness. The body is on the watery side.

(Cask, Stockholm Beer Festival, 8 Oct) Dark amber colour with small head. Fruity nose with apricots, blood oranges and notes of earthy hops. Fruity taste with lots of bitterness from the earthy hops, notes of orange and cherries. An allright bitter with a nice hoppy bitterness.
