Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 9/12/07. This was a standard bitter rather than a Christmas beer. Pale amber colour with a decent white head that left plenty of lacing. A slightly sweet malt aroma with some grassy hops. The flavour also inclined towards sweetness with a decent dry finish. Good.

Deep brown with a tight, foamy, khaki colored head. Aroma is pleasent. Intense cocoa, roasted notes, molasses. Body is a bit thin, but smooth. Tasty cocoa malts, some molasses, toasted malt, and some coffee. The dry finish has a little apple in it. Solid, but lacking a little compexity. Easy to drink, though.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet combined with a slight acidic touch and notes of berries, malt, and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of peaches and mangos, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin inspite of the 6% ABV - perhaps lacking a bit of residual sugar.

500ml bottle @ Cardinal. Slightly hazy orange body with a dense off white head. Aroma is vague citrus and grain. Flavor is malty and a bit fruity with hint of citrus/hops. Medium body, not very outstanding, just a nice, well balanced ale.

500 ml bottle, as RCH On The Tiles, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Bottle conditioned. ABV is 4.0%. Deep golden to orange coloured beer, slightly hazy, low off-white head. Very nice hoppy aroma, notes of tropical fruits. The flavour has a nice balance between the malts (with a hint of caramel) and the distinct and grapefruity hops throughout. Hoppy finish and aftertaste, but not too bitter. Possibly inspired by American pale ales? Anyhow, I like it!
