Fra flaske på Cardinal M2 juni-15: klar gylden ravfarge med flott skum som varer. Deilig humlearoma (noen mumler Mosaic...) med jordbær og mørke karamelltoner. en riktig god og velbalansert øl med mye smak i kun 4,5%. Granskudd og grapefrukt og et snev av modne jordbær. Sklir ubesværet over drøvelen.

500 ml bottle, batch 1510292, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Deep golden to amber colour, large white head. Fairly nice aroma of fruity and piney hops. Medium dry flavour, with a much stronger and better presence of grapefruity and piney hops than I feared. Dry and slightly woody finish, good bitterness. A pleasant surprise!

Bottle. A dark brown beer, unclear, with a dense, minimal sized light beige head. Some curtains. Earthy, roasted and burnt aroma with coffee grit, some dark chocolate and some raisins. Earthy, roasted and burnt flavor with a faint fruity hoppyness. Bitterness too, both of the hoppy and roasted malt kind. Some sweetness. It’s smooth on the palate, medium to full-bodied and quite dry. Long, roasted and burnt finish. Quite nice this one. A little tweaking of the reciepe and process might do the trick. 150524

Bottle. An unclear, dark golden beer topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head. Some lacings. The aroma is rather yeasty, mostly fruity, and with a decent maltyness. Grapefruit and some pine cones. Tropical fruit hints. The flavor is equally uninteresting, too weak and yeasty, lacking on bitterness too. Citrus peel, pale malts, yeast and some resins. Lasting finish. Too yeasty this one, probably not completely fermented, and I think it lacks on hops in particular. 150524

Pours slightly hazy deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, grain and faint hint of hops. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long malty finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft. Did they forget to add the hops?

Bottle. Norwegian brewery #100. A brown beer, unclear and with a dense, finger-thick light beige head. There’s a nice citrusy, grapefruity hoppyness to the aroma, with toffee-ish malts. Licorice notes too. It’s full to medium bodied, with a nice carbonation level. Quite dry. Roasted malts, toffee notes, licorice hints, pine cones, grapefruit and citrus peel. Lasting finish. Not bad this one, but it would go better as an Amber ale than as a Black IPA. 150524

Pours hazy reddish brown with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel. citrus, grape and faint hint of butterscotch. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long caramel and slightly fruity finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft. Not quit a Black IPA but an alright slightly hoppy brown ale.

Fra flaske på Cardinal, M2 mai-15: brunsvart med fint skum. Mye brent malt. Savner humlefriskhet. Litt kaffe og lakris. Tørr som en stout bør være. OK i små mengder.
