500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Also bought at Vaaland Spesialbutikken, Bryne. ABV is 4.7%. Golden colour, moderate head. Moderate aroma of pilsener malts, hints of honey. Soft and fairly "neutral" flavour with a very moderate malty sweetness. "Dusty" English hops in the finish. Nothing wrong with it, but boring.

Bottle, at RBNAG-09. It’s a slightly hazy, orange-golden beer with a decent off-white head. Yeasty nose with nice fruityness, oranges, apples and peaches. Yeasty flavor too, with a nice sweetness and fruityness. Some resiny hops giving bitterness. Fruity, bitter finish. Could use more bitterness I think. Medium body with pleasant carbonation. Overall, a bit on the yeasty side, but a pleasant, easy drinking beer. 091107

Flaske 0,5l spandert av Cinnamongirl under et hyggelig vorspiel i hytte 63 på Rica Sommarøy Hotel 6 Mar 10. Svart som natta. Lavt lysebrunt skum. Litt sjokolade i aromaen. Smaken er litt tynn men antydning til ristet malt & sjokolade. Bra til å kun være på 4,7%.

Flaske 0,5l spandert av Cinnamongirl under et hyggelig vorspiel i hytte 63 på Rica Sommarøy Hotel 6 Mar 10. Pen etikett! Mørk gylden på farge. Litt uklar. Lavt skum med litt farge. Kraftig fruktig aroma. Tung fruktig smak med innslag av ristet malt. Langvarig syrlig ettersmak. Mye innhold til så lavt alkoholinnhold.

Batch 10, bb:08.10, thanks to Leif for sharing two bottles at a pre-party warm up in a cottage belonging to Sommarøy Arctic hotel. Decent off-white head atop of an opaque, pitch black body. Inviting aroma of nutty chocolate with herbs beneath. The taste is also dominated by chocolate malts partially offset by balancing notes of fruity tartness. Medium bodied and rounded mouthfeel. Not bad for a Norwegian Yuletide beer at this ABV level. (Hillesøy, 06.03.2010).

A few 500ml bottles, batch No. 12, provided by Leif. Seaborne by MS Gunnar Langva from Aalesund and MS Straumberg from Mosjøen after two months of fishing for capelin in the Barents Sea. The boats had even been to Iceland before the bottles finally reached their destination in Tromsø. Big thanks to the crew and to Leif. Basically a malt-accented pale ale that comes in a nice, pure styled bottle design and pours a hazy, amber-brown body topped by a airy, off-white head with lots of small dimples. Aroma of caramel malts with a spiced hoppy touch. Fruit-malty in flavour added by salty spices. Smooth bittersweet endnotes. Medium bodied. Interesting brew and to my liking (shared at a social gathering at cottage No.63, Hillesøy, 06.03.2010).

500 ml bottle sampled@RBNAG 2009, Cardinal. Dark golden body with a nice beige head. Strong citric hoppy aroma, quite distinct and pleasant. Flavor is fruity, some caramel, malt and a balanced bitter finish. Medium body, easy drinkable. Maybe a bit plain, but a real tasty thirst-quencher. Looking forward to sample more beers from this brewery.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Very dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Nice malty aroma , notes of dark münchener malts, caramel and brown bread. The flavour is very malty throughout, but not too sweet. Some notes of caramel. Minimal hops. Tastes like an ale (which it probably is), but has also much in common flavourwise with a Münchener dunkel.

Bottle, RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Amber colour, low head. Aroma of berries and tobacco. The flavour has notes of malts and berries, also notes of tobacco, moderate bitterness. Not bad for a newcomer brewery.
