Bottle. A hazy, dark orange-golden beer with a small, beige head. Fruity nose with some piney hops and toffee-ish and bready maltyness. The flavor is on the sweet side, toffee-ish and bready, with some bitterness lingering. Medium body and a nice carbonation level. Bready finish with a little bitterness trying to balance it. A quite decent beer, lacking on the bitterness. (081206)

500 ml bottle. Amber colour. Clear. Medium-sized off-white head that clings to the glass. Soft nutty and chocolatey aroma. Hints of caramel and perhaps also a little earthy hops. Fruity and malty flavours. The nuttiness comes through in the flavours as well. Nicely balanced malts and hops. No obivious hop bitterness that stands out. Soft texture even though there is quite a bit of carbonation. I love the delicate flavours. A very nice session beer.

500 ml bottle. Deep golden to bright amber color. Stable one-finger offwhite head. Limited aroma of fruit and crisp malts. Thin malt flavor. Fairly dry with mineralic and light acidic fruit notes. Hints of peppey bittereness. Clean, watered down mouthfeel. Light-bodied. Dry, mineralic, light peppery finish. Drinkable but boring.

Big offwhite coarseish head. Amber body with light carbonation. Perfumy roasty malts aroma with fruity notes. Dry-sweetish medicinal floral roasty taste with lemony notes. Sharpish dusty mouthfeel. Dry papery wooden aftertaste. Nothing too much wrong with it, I suppose. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)
