Dec 11, 2009 500 ml bottle sampled@RBNAG 2009, Cardinal. Golden body with a small white head. Aroma is refreshing tropic fruity with a tiny little hint of burnt plastic. Flavor is light malty with a hint of caramel, dominated by a refreshing hoppy fruit flavor. Peaches, apricot, grapefruit and black currant. Very nice and fruity, quite light malty, but becomes more deep in flavors after a while. Nice.

Dec 1, 2009 Sampled from bottle@Cardinal, Stavanger. A bubbely, offwhite foamy head upon a clear, pilsner-golden body. Hop accented both in aroma and flavor. Pleasant floral and citrussy hops on the nose, paired with a soft grainy, maltiness. A fine fruity bitterness with citrus and tropical in the flavor, blended with a medium sweet, quite full malt body. Finishes dry and clean with a lasting fruity bitterness. Very good.

Oct 27, 2009 50cl bottle at Mallaskukko, Turku. Slightly hazy amber, mostly disappearing tiny pale head. Loads of sweet toffee, grapefruit and spiciness on the nose, bready malts, hints of bacon later on, solid Americano feel actually. Flavor has sweetish toasty and caramelly malts, piney and spicy hops, little citric fruits, mildly resiny bitterness. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Enjoyable, like that hop profile and caramel combo.

Sep 18, 2009 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.7%. Hops are Boadicea, Styrian Goldings and Columbus. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Pleasant hoppy aroma, also notes of fruits, hints of honey, toffee and blackcurrant leaves. The well rounded flavour has a nice balance between distinct malts and pleasant hops, some fruity sweetness, honeyish notes, the alcohol is noticeable but not disturbing. Moderately bitter aftertaste. Good beer.
