500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Amber colour, moderate white head. Moderate but pleasant aroma of malts and toffee, hints of herbal hops. Zesty flavour of malts, nuts, fruity and herbal hops. Bitter aftertaste. Not really remarkable, but a decent enough bitter.

Clear medium amber body with an average, frothy off-white head of decent lifetime, good lacing. A bit faint aroma with few recognisable elements, I get mainly light caramel, fruits and some faint floral notes. Moderate to light bitter finish and quite faint flavours. A bit thin and watery. Not very exciting, but there’s nothing wrong with this beer, so a fair session ale, I suppose.

Bitter with good character. Has a decent texture to its medium body and pleasant ale taste.

UPDATED: FEB 29, 2012 Bottle and rated while drinking it. Deep golden colour, with a quick vanishing off white head. Light caramel and a bit fruity nose. Bitter hoppy flavour with some caramel and fruity background. Medium carbonation even from a bottle, a fresh and nice mouthfeel.

500 ml bottle. Clear, deep golden body with a nice off-white had that sadly disappears quite fast. Medium aroma of malt, caramel and varnished wood. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel and nuts. Medium bitterness that becomes a bit more obvious in the aftertaste. Decent bitter, but not to exiting.

Courtesy of Joes. Clear dark copper / light amber color, small quickly diminishing white head. Smell malts, wort, straw. Taste malts, bitter: very standard. Soft carbo, low to medium body.

UPDATED: DEC 1, 2011 Malty sweetness as taste initially, finish becomes predictably bitter, but not overly bitter. The body is quite and weak and the overall impression suffers from that. A clear dark amber colour, head is off-white. (Bottle, abv was 4.0)

Cask at Battersea Beer Festival, 10th Feb 2011. Classic copper bitter colour with no head. Little aroma. Quite thin. What I expected... unfortunately.
