In my opinion, most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer.

Sample from can, as Emporium Stromboli Pastry Sour, at Mandag i Annen, Cardinal, Stavanger. Signal red colour, pink head. Aroma and flavour like a blend of Donald Duck soda and strychnine. Disgusting, nearly undrinkable.

Shared can at Mandag i Annen, Cardinal, Stavanger. Hazy straw colour. The aroma and flavour were grassy and spicy (some citrus and pine too). Some people around the table did not like it much, they thought there was too much "vegetable" character, but I liked it - a bit different from your average IPA.
