500ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Remaining pearl white head leaving spotty lacing behind. Bright amber coloured body. Earthy malts on the nose. Slightly perfumed malty flavours, hints of smoke and leather. Dry, very dry, ending. Drinkable, not too excited about this one. (Tromsø 24.05.2017).

Shared 500 ml bottle conditioned. ABV is 5.5%. Deep golden colour, white head. Sourish aroma of peat bog, hints of smoke. The flavour is also peaty, with fairly sharp bittering hops. Smoke and ashes in the aftertaste.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Tau 15.06.17. Slighty hazy dark golden. White head and lacing. Aroma of heather, marsh and a hint of smoke. Similar taste, with some marsh sourness.

Fra flaske på RBHD sommeravslutning på Tau, juni-17: lett uklar kobbergylden med ok skum. Rå mesk, urter, lynghede og gress. Virkelig usjarmerende.

Flaske 500ml fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Langnes. Delt med EgilB på Nerstranda 19 Mai 17. Gylden. Uklar. Middels høyt kremaktig skum. Spotlacing. Lett torvaroma. Smaken tørr & vassen. Spor av whisky - men en skuffelse.

Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5
Pours a lovely reddish copper/amber colour, clear with a little bit of head. Aroma is very restrained, a bit malty, caramelly and sweet. Slight bitter note. Medium body, interesting mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, nutty, quite caramelly, surprisingly rich and malty, finishes nicely bitter and dry with a hint of orange. Nice!

One if the best from the Islay ales. Bitter and malty with a nice grassy/earthy note (fuggles/EKG hops). I enjoy it, nice light ale.

Pours pale amber, rather hazy with some yeast sediment. Some lasting white frothy head. Aroma is sadly almost nonexistent. Tiny bit of malt, tiny bit of hops. Flavours is rather nice, malty, caramelly sweet, with a nice hoppy bitterness. Lingering bittersweet finish. Quite nice, IPA-like (English IPA).
