500 ml bottle, batch 1520464, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Golden colour, slightly hazy, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of dust, grain, basement, earth, a hint of fruit. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour has a moderate but nice character of earthy English hops, some citrus notes make the beer very drinkable. If the brewer would add some more fruity aroma hops in the next batch, this could all be nice and dandy.
