0,5 boks fra Einars koffert, delt med ham på altanen i Tanbergmoveien: klar rødlig kastanjefarge med fint skum som varer lenge. Aroma og smak preget av røde bær, ristet brød, mørke karameller og litt citrus (bitterappelsin?). Elegant og lettdrikkelig med behagelig bitterhet i avslutningen

Le Petit Casino: pours copper with fluffy head. Aroma is lightly spicy, earthy. Seems closer to a hoppy Belgian pale ale than an IPA. Taste is lightly bitter. Fairly dry. Not really am IPA other than being kind of hoppy. Fine to drink though.

0.75l cork-top bottle, shared with Ales. Aroma of caramel, toasted malt, dried fruit and spices. Pours clear brown color with large soapy tan-like head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts sweet caramelly with toasted note, following is dried fruity, nutty and floral, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is mild bitter. Light to medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Too sweet, but not too bad….
