Shared bottle at local tasting. Deep golden to orange colour, moderate white head. LThe aroma has loads of caramel and hints of diacetyl and dust, nothing IPAish about it at all. The flavour is very sweet and dull, some caramel. No IPA, and not a good beer regardless of style.

Fra flaske på RBHD-treff ombord på Fridtjofen mai-14: kort filmskum, klar ravgylden. Mye aroma av karamell, nesten som en lett barleywine. Lett vinøs, sherryaktig smak som minner om krokanis.Ingen ipa etter min oppfatning av stilen, men har ingen problemer med å drikke glasset til bunns.

Clear and pale amber. Lots of caramel and toffee in aroma and in taste. Croquant in aftertaste. Some bitterness to balance. Not very much like an IPA, a bit on the sweet side, but otherwise decent.

Bottle, from Ales By Mail split at Colin and the Vikings tasting, Nol, Goteborg, Sweden 22/03/14. Clear golden with little in the way of a head. Nose is pale malts, light citrics, straw, orchard fruit. Taste comprises pale malt, light citric, apple skin. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Bland GB affair ... yawn.

Sample from 50 cl. bottle. Clear, amber colour with a dense, off-white head. Fruity aroma with caramel malts, spices, fruits and light citrus. Taste is light bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture. Finishes dry with bread, fruits and a lightly toasted note. Neat.
