Bov (14982) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - NOV 27, 2012from Erzbierschof - pretty dirty and cloudy dark amber colour under a solid and long lasting beige foam; lot of piney hops with notes of red fruit marmalade; some sweetness and a fair malt backbone; very bitter yet never aggressive; slightly dry and with a long piney hoppy finish; long lasting; sticky palate, notes of peaches
Maris (3426) - Canberra, AUSTRALIA - NOV 10, 2012From a 500ml bottle on 11/11/2012 (batch number 064, date 06/2013, which I assume is the best before date). Fours a dirty, cloudy amber with just a hint of head. The aroma is very powerful, with sharp notes of tropical and stone fruit notes (passionfruit, pineapple, apricot), along with a big dose of piney hops. The flavour is similarly intense, beginning with sweet fruit (apricot and pineapple again, as well as orange), honey and marmelade, though it’s the hops that hold sway. The bitterness is long, resiny and quite spicy, and possibly too intense for some. There some smokey saltiness in the mix. I note this appears to divide opinions, but I’m a fan, and admire its character, complexity and intensity.
Alexus (243) - Stavanger, NORWAY - NOV 2, 2012Shared bottle @ Cardinal. Pours hazy golden in color with a small white head. Complex aroma and flavors, no doubt because of the 30 different hop types that goes into this brew. You need to try this one out for yourself. A truely great brew!

fletchfighters (1836) - WEST RYDE, AUSTRALIA - OCT 2, 2012Retired tick on the shelf in Sydney. Figures.
500 ML bottle
Murky orange brown color. Rocky off white head that falls to a thick film with some spotty lacing.
Pine, orange, almond or hazelnut and bubblegum nose with waves of alcohol.
Harsh, bitter pine, overripe orange and grapefruit, odd nutty taste and somewhat dusty tasting.
Lots of alcohol, overly bitter, strange malt backbone, and a heavy sort of alcohol weight to this.
Odd as heck not very pleasant
abemorsten (3798) - Mosterøy, NORWAY - AUG 26, 2012Shared 0,5 l bottle at Cardinal. Pours a misty orange body with a white film. Super complex aroma. Toe sweat, orange marmelade, smokey broth and tropical fruits on the nose. Hoppy, aniseed, allspice, earthy, salty and meaty notes in the flavor. Full bodied and smooth. Really good beer.
