3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
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].
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
50 cl bottle, Hopheads´ tasting 22. august. Brown reddish color, fine beige head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor is sweet fruity, caramel malt. Hoppy bitterness in the finish. Nice for a «low alcohol».
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Chestnut coloured beer, big light tan head. Aroma of berries and malts, hints of toffee. The flavour is brimming with fruit/berries, caramel and malts, but is not too sweet, with a pleasant hoppy bitterness and some chocolate notes in the finish. Excellent beer, and quite amazing that it is only 4%.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Huge light brownish head quickly develops huge bubbles. Deep barely translucent dark red body. Roasty wooden wet wool aroma with hoppy notes. Dry powerful roasty wooden caramel taste with nutty creosote notes, lightly perfumy. Some fruit and chocolate as well. Soft, clean mouthfeel. Hints of sourness. Dry astringent burnt minty wooden aftertaste. An excellent session beer. I’m amazed by the amount of taste in this, given the alcohol. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Centra, Oslo. Crystal clear, light mahogny. Low beige head. Low aroma level. Dryish malty with a faint fruitiness. Chocolate notes. Flavorful; crisp, light sourish, light sweet dark malts, Fine hop bitterness. Good body, quite filling considering the abv.
Lingering bitterness in the finish.
High drinkability.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Lovely fruity beer, raspberries and malt, full body. Nice cocoa dryness in the finish. A great session beer, the only pity it’s way too expensive here in Norway. A cask version of this would be something to drink all night long.
