3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tap at Nærbø Ølmesse and Cardinal. Rated at Cardinal 11.11.09 where it was served a bit too cold. Pours clear golden with an off white head that lasts. Toasted caramel malts on the nose (remember the aroma as more dry hopped at Nærbø). Moderately sweet and bitter in the mouth with an averagely lasting finish. Medium bodied with a syrupy texture and soft carbonation. Well balanced and a joy to drink! Ægir has had a lot of positive feedback on this one, and thankfully they’ve promised a bigger release of this excellent brew next autumn.

Bottle (50cl) from Vinmonopolet (Vika), Oslo. Medium-sized offwhite head, good retention, settling as a thick film with ’bubble islands’ - quite good-looking. Colour is slightly hazy amber. Aroma of hops, pine, caramel, flowers, soap. Medium body, soft carbonation. Taste is well-balanced with a powerful bitterness, discreet sweetness, and fairly astringent finish. Very nice, although the floral aspect is verging on being too dominant.
