Very hazy amber - brown beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, dry and crispy. Light earthy coffee starts things off. Underneath is mildly spicy pine hops rapidly followed by mellow tropical fruits. Nicely joined up. Pretty drinkable.

50cl bottle from Meny, Oslo City. Pours slightly hazy golden with a large white head. Fruity aroma with nice yeasty and floral notes, hint of spices and wheat. Moderate sweet with lovely fruity and yeasty flavours and a balanced bitterness. Finishes slightly dry and aftertaste is moderately bitter with spicy and citrusy notes. Delicious stuff and dangerously drinkable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sesong on 22 Nov 2014 at 18:15 - Score: 7

Cloudy golden color with a small white head. Some lacing. Banana, wheat and fruity aroma. Ok body. Ok sweetness and an unusual bitterness for a hefe weisse. Rich banana, fruity, wheat, some yeast, malty and mild hoppy. Nice beer. But I prefer hefe weisse with other hops.

Rerate, 500 ml bottle, batch #41, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.1%. Very cloudy reddish brown colour, moderate off-white to beige head. Aroma of piney and grapefruity hops, on a background of lightly roasted malts. Distinctly hoppy flavour, piney and grapefruity notes, sufficient malts with a roasty / coffee finish. Long and bitter aftertaste. A very drinkable beer! Original rating: Shared 500 ml bottle at a tasting with the brewer. Batch #13, ABV is 5.1%. Ruby colour, moderate beige head. Aroma of malts including some caramel and a hint of roast, and moderate grapefruity hops. Hints of red berries. Malty flavour first, hints of red berries again, then the hops take over with a distinct grapefruity bitterness. Well balanced, some coffee notes in the aftertaste.

Rerate 500 ml bottle, batch #92, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5.4%. Cloudy orange to brown colour, minimal white head. Lovely hoppy aroma, with strong notes of citrus, tropical fruits and pine. Moderate carbonation. Fairly sharp hoppy flavour, plenty of pine needles and resin, also grapefruit. Quite bitter. Original rating 30.10.14: Shared 500 ml bottle at a tasting with the brewer. Extremely fresh batch, bottled yesterday. Slightly hazy deep golden colour, moderate white head. Catty aroma, pine and grapefruit too. Piney flavour, very "raw" and sharp. Will probably be more to my liking in a few weeks time.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Black colour, large beige head. Aroma of citric hops, some spruce too, the roast malts are more subdued. The flavour is first smooth and pleasant, the citric hops blend in nicely with the roast malts, then a distinct resinous and medicinal bitterness sets in, lasting through the long aftertaste.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Cloudy pale golden colour, low white head. Intense sweetish aroma of ripe bananas, also notes of oranges and cloves. The flavour is moderately sweet (not too much), notes of banana and cloves again, moderate Chinook hops in the finish, become distinct in the aftertaste. Good beer.

A nice light unclear nutty/amber color with a lovely tan head that last a long time. Nice lacing. When it is a bit cold it has a fine hoppy aroma. A bit later grows some bready and fruity aromas up from the cellar. Fine body, and a nice balance between sweetness and bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. Kind of smooth/creamy texture. It is the same with the flavor. Very hoppy at first. Then bready, toffee, caramel and fruity. A really pleasant and tasty amber!
