3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Cardinal 13.10.2010. Murky orange with a sizable, creamy light brown head leaving excellent lacing. Fresh grassy, malty and spicy aroma with notes of sweet dried fruits, honey and caramel. Sweet, bitter, mildly alcoholic and acidic with spices mellowing through. Medium body. Dryish with a gentle carbonation. Picks up more body and more a fruity taste as the temperature increases.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Håndverkerstuene. It’s a hazy, orange beer, with a big, off-white head sitting on top. It’s hoppy on the nose, some sugary notes and hints of spices, as well as some sour hints. Some orange and a little touch of white sugar in the mouth, clever use of hops gives a good bitterness and citrus and pine cones. Full-bodied and sweetish, pleasantly carbonated. The finish is mostly bitter. A beer that is slightly more on the sweet side than I like it to be, but nice anyway. 100820

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Håndverkerstuene. Murky dark yellow with a big fluffy white head. Fairly yeasty aroma, typical belgian yeast, a bit doughy, some faint funk and spicy notes, nice and fruity, quite sweet. Tastes wheatier than it smells, pretty sweet at first before a nice, fruity hop bitterness balances it out. Thick and creamy in the mouth, full bodied, very smooth carbonation, yet refreshing and drinkable. Nice one.
