50cl bottle from Varnaveien mineralvann, Moss. Pours clear dark brown with a reddish hue and an off-white head. Spicy and malty aroma with some roasty notes. Medium sweet with flavour of malt, caramel and spices and a lightly bitter and spicy finish. Anise seems to be the most easy recognizable spice and it fits quite well. Balanced and easy to drink with more flavour and not so much carbonated caramel water with alcohol feel that some of the Norwegian industrial Christmas brews give.

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Golden colour, slightly hazy. Moderate white head. Very nice aroma of fruity / citrussy and moderately piney hops. Light bodied as expected. The flavour is distinctly hoppy and medium dry, fruity and resinous hops throughout, with a distinctly bitter finish and aftertaste. Would profit from more malts and a higher ABV, but this is a fairly decent IPA as it is.

Fra flaske på Cardinals juleøltreff nov-12: dette var heller tynne saker. Ingern minneverdig opplevelse, men det var en kveld med mange øl i ypperste klasse, så jeg bør prøve noen andre fra dette bryggeriet. Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff jan -13: lite aroma, men behagelig og myk kryddersmak. Kort ettersmak. Opp fra 1.8 som jeg opprinnnelig ga den. Fra flaske, DSJT på Cardinal nov-13: kveldens eneste over bordkanten-ølet. Her er der virkelig ingenting som setter meg i førjulsstemning. Ned til 1.7. Enda et nytt forsøk, fra flaske på Cardinal, DSJT nov-14: ingen bedring å spore siden i fjor. Denne er rett og slett ikke god.

500 ml bottle @ Hr. Redaktør, Mandal. Clear golden body with a nice and stable off-white head. Almost no sediments in bottle and lively carbonation. Nice aroma of citric fruit like peaches and apricot with a hint of caramel malt. Flavor is smooth, sweet malt, citric fruit, hint of caramel and some bitterness. Medium body and pleasant fruity bitter aftertaste. A taste, smooth session ale at a modest alcohol level. Aroma of American hops meets British style IPA?

500 ml bottle at Hr. Redaktør. Last bottle shared with KnutAlbert and sampled side by side with the Gahre Pilsner. Definitively a different beer, the body is paler, aroma less fruity and overall dryer. Anyway, an almost clear golden body with a fine and stable white head. Lively carbonation. Aroma is quite mild grainy with a grassy hop profile. Flavor has a bit more fruit than expected from aroma, light soft malt/grain with a grassy bitterness and quite dry finish. Medium body. Refreshing easy going beer for the summer with a nice light flavor.

Bottle, at Hr. Redaktør. It pours an almost clear, golden body, with a good carbonation and a big, dense, white head leaving beautiful curtains. Pale malts in the back, with grassy, light flowery and piney hops. Pleasant bitterness in the flavour, with pale malts, some pine cones and grass and a light peppery touch. Medium to full body, creamy and nicely carbonated. Pleasant bitterness in the end. Certainly a pleasant summer beer. 121014

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle, at Kristiansand Ølfestival. It pours an unclear, golden body and a small, white head. The aroma is lightly buttery, with grass, citrus and a light flowery touch. A bit thin on the palate, pleasant carbonation. Good bitterness in the flavour, some caramel maltiness and butterscotch, and grassy, citrusy hops. Citrus peel and bitterness in the end. A decent beer, suffering from staying below the Norwegian 4.7 limit. 121013
