Nov 15, 2009 [2581-20091113] 500mL bottle. Plastic leaf and generic grainy shoe aroma. Clear, amber orange body with a quick foamy off-white head. More corn hay and plastic leaf malt in the flavour. Medium body. Not my favourite hops, not terrible though.

Nov 15, 2009 2009-11-13. Golden body with a small beige head. 3+ Mild interesting aroma, grassy, lightly floral hops, very interesting hop profile. Flavour is similar, mild, modest graininess, light bitterness. Very light herbaceous touch in the finish. Average palate suits it. Bottle shared by DougShoemaker.

Oct 19, 2009 Serviceable beer. I found this quite sweet for a bitter but it certainly was quite a pretty drop. Malts are bit one-dimensional but the caramel, milk chocolate is nice. Hops kick in late and don’t really feature. I’d agree the with the ’artificial-like’ comment but regardless its a pleasant drink.

Oct 12, 2009 Medium pale brown lasting head. Chestnut brown body. Faint peppery roasty floral aroma. Dry-sweetish caramelly metallic wooden taste with peppery floral notes. Mid-to-thin body. Clean, fresh palate. Dry floral fruity aftertaste with wooden metallic notes. Faintly perfumy. Quite nice, but perhaps slightly artificial-like. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

Oct 4, 2009 500ml bottle picked up at Centra Colosseum in Oslo. Golden-brown body with brilliant clarity. Dense, off-white head with plenty of lacework. Lighter aroma of pale malts and mild hops. Semi-sweet, malty flavour with suggestions of fruity hops, supported by a discreet spicy touch. Leafy hop bitterness to a subdued finish. Soft in the mouth. Food friendly, standard bitter (Tromsø, 26.09.2009).

Sep 7, 2009 Nice warm aroma with wood and nut hints, not too strong, but very present, good stuff there. Looks very appetizing with a nice big head as well as a pleasant amber-brown. Taste is quite simple, however, lots of malts in the nose and a slightly dry finish. Pretty good session beer I think.
