22nd October 2008. Clear gold beer. Fruity hops with grapefruit and orange equally balanced. The fruit much outweighs the little bitterness from the hops which is only noticeable at the finish. Light, crisp and refreshing.

0,5l bottle. Murky golden color, small head. Nose is refreshingly hoppy with a slight honeyish sweetness to it. Flavor is very nice with floral hops dominating the palate. Very well balanced.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.

500 ml bottle. Slightly hazy golden orange colour, medium-sized white head. Sweetish, pleasant aroma of citrus fruits and caramel malts. The flavour is caramel-malty, with grapefruit, lemon and a rather dry hoppy finish with a hint of alcohol warmth. Very nice.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
