Tap @ Cardinal. Unclear pale golden body with a dense, lacing white head. Aroma of pale malt and moderate grapefruit. Flavor is like a plain and fruity pale ale with some grapefruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and aftertaste. Decent, OK but nothing special.

Bottle. Clear amber body with a big beige head. Aroma has malt, caramel, bread and hint of toast. Flavor is quite mild caramel, smooth toffee, bread and toast. Medium body and some dry fruit in aftertaste together with the malt and caramel. Not to impressive really, but probably a nice beer to og along with most kind of food. Reminds me a bit of classic macro Norwegian Christmas beer for the grocery marked.

Tap @ Cardinal. Slightly unclear golden body with a dense, lacing head. Aroma has pale malt, moderate fruity hops and a floral hint. Flavor is super smooth pale malt, mild fruit and flower with a medium, grassy bitterness almost in the aftertaste. Medium body and average aftertaste. Might not be what to expect from a pilsner, but definitively a lager with a certain hop quality. And if you don’t care about styles, this is a nice, smooth, light but tasty beer, and that's probably the main point with this.

Bottle @ the brewery shop. Slightly unclear golden body with a fine, white head. Aroma is spot on classic Saison with Belgium yeast, some general fruitiness and typical saison yeast spices and balanced mild esters. Flavor is also very true to style, moderate sweet pale malt, fruity and spicy with pepper and some easter, low but distinct bitterness. Balanced body and smooth aftertaste. Among the best Saisons if looking for the clean, classic style without any funk, wood or other tricks. Highly enjoyable and spot on to the label.

Bottle. Unclear pink body with a small, fast disappearing white head. Aroma has sour raspberries, nothing artificial but not much more either. Flavor is sweet and acidic, quite much raspberries, hint of lemon. Medium body and same aftertaste as the rest. Rather one dimensional and to much soda pop for my taste.
