UPDATED: MAR 5, 2012 On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Chestnut colour, creamy off-white to beige head. Unusual fruity perfumed aroma, notes of over-ripe raspberries. Smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. The flavour is moderately fruity (hints of raspberries again) with a nice balance between the malts (with notes of rye bread and a hint of caramel) and American hops (with moderate piney and grapefruity notes).

Smallish beige head. Slightly hazy deep dark red body. Strong perfumy tropical fruit aroma with wooden wild berry notes. Dry-sweet tropical fruit and wood taste with resiny citric notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish roasty floral pineapple aftertaste with resiny notes. Really nice and highly drinkable. Can’t really pick up the rye, though. (0.4l draft at Amundsen, Oslo.)

Tap@Håndtverker’n. Very dark, clear reddish brown, with a small frothy off white head. Solid sweet fruity aroma, tropical fruits, juicy apricots, slightly burnt sour, slightly smoked, a hint of caramel or burnt sugar. Loads of fruitiness flavourwise as well, with a nice, long resiny finish. Toasted malts. Almost astringent and peppery in the long, long finish. Medium bodied, sparsely carbed. Could have been a bit bubblier. All in all a good, drinkable yet complex beer. Nice one.

Sampler from tap at Nærbø Ølfestival 2011. Clear mahogany body covered by a beige film. Dried dark fruits and american hops on the nose. Medium to full body. Light syrupy texture. Sweet, tobacco notes, Toasted bitter and hoppy acidity. Light alcoholic warmth. leaves the tongue dry.

Surprisingly dark brown, cloudy. Small beige head. Aromas of grainy hops, rye, and a nice whiff of grapefruit. The ryebread also in the flavours, along with some sweet caramel notes. Medium to fullbodied with a well balanced long durational bitterness. Slick in the mouth and low carbo. Overall a very tastefull and balanced delicious brew. Despite having american hops the fruity flavours reminds me more of an english style IPA.

Bottle sample @ the brewery. Pours a dark bronze body with a small white head. Nose is rye malts, burnt caramel, cereals and hints of fresh grassy hops lingering on top. Taste is amber malts, rye, caramel, sour-ish grassy hop tones and hints of roasted grains. Smooth balanced, and a very nice beer.

On tap at Håndverkerstuene. Amber beer. Sweet and sour rye bread flavour. The sour rye bread feeling in underlined by dry hops. Wood and oak. Boiled sweets and woody dry finish. Very pleasant.
