Jan 28, 2009 Bottle at chris o’s teabag for 2009 tasting. Alround rating: Brown ale malts, bitter, grassy small citrus character off the hops. Tasty enough.

Jan 18, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s pre NYE tasting. While plenty of folks sat round the table thought this was really good, I have to say it didn’t really float my boat. Decent enough but too much caramel and not enough character for me. I should probably try this again to be sure as people I have plenty of respect for enjoyed it a lot. Maybe I just don’t know anything about beer...

Jan 11, 2009 500ml bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Chestnut, lasting beige head. Again, it’s a pretty solid malty best bitter. It’s fine.

Jan 5, 2009 500ml bottle, from Adnams Cellar & Kitchen shop in Richmond. Best before 16 July 2009. Another Adnams beer that seems to have been targeted at the Norwegian market (Lighthouse is the other). Only 4.0% but, unlike the Lighthouse, this is very strong on depth and character. Reddish amber colour. Plenty of chewy, roasty malt in the aroma and flavour with a dry, fruity mouthfeel. The hops don’t clamour for attention but they do enough to produce an excellently balanced and nicely drinkable beer. Good weight on the palate. A pleasant surprise. Difficult to categorise but not so sure it is a mild though.

Dec 24, 2008 500ml bottle bought at Centra Colosseum in Oslo, and enjoyed back home in Tromsø. This beer proves that it is quite possible to make great stuff with a low ABV. Nice in appearance with a shining, rusty-amber body, supported by a perfect, beige head, blanketing the glass. Light chocolate malts to the nose. Taste of fruit-chocolate with some grainy hints behind. Dry bitter endnotes. A very well balanced brew with fine drinkability [19.12.2008].

Dec 8, 2008 Ruby brown, with a lacy white head. Bicuitty cereals and some hops in the aroma. Sweet with the biscuit appearing again quite like a digestive. Fades down to a well judged creamed hoppy bitterness. A little thin for me but definitely not too watery. Well balanced overall but lacking in character.

Oct 20, 2008 500 ml bottle. Brown colour. Clear. Tall fine-laced light beige head. Beatiful beer. Rich malty and nutty aroma with hints of dark chocolate. Malty flavours with sweet raisins. Crisp carbonation level. Nice nutty flavours with a dry texture. Cacao powder. Surprisingly rich for a beer this low in alcohol. A very nice session beer. Dry and lightly bitter finish.
