Shared bottle at local tasting. ABV 7.3%. Cloudy orange colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma, notes of cloves and crushed gooseberries. Spicy flavour, very strong notes of cloves, also notes of Nelson Sauvin hops, but not dominant. Unusual, interesting, and pleasant to drink.

UPDATED: FEB 27, 2012 Shared bottle at local tasting. Pours hazy golden with a huge creamy white head. Aroma of wheat, light fruity and floral hops. Taste is fresh, moderate sweet, Nelson is hard to recognise, but good beer anyway.

Bottle 750ml @ Patricks Pub og Restaurant, Kristiansand
[Shared with Geokkjer and igniztion] Pours clear golden with a huge beige head. Aroma has notes of malt, wheat, banana and fruity hops. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long malt, wheat, banana and slightly dry finish. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonaiton is soft.

Bottle (750 ml Strong wheaty aroma upon opening. Golden appearance with wheat dominating. Medium body. A good example of this style. When you finish it you know that you have had a drink.

Draught @ Abraxas. Light amber and cloudy. Thin head. The aroma has lots of fresh pale malt. Fairly sweet and a little cloying/doughy. So overall the thickness is maybe a bit much and the sauvin a bit mellow but I like it.

Bottle, shared with meilby and ignizion. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma of toffee, fruitiness, bubblegum and floral hops. Flavor is sweet toffee with some floral hops , bubblegum and hops. Medium body, average carbonation.

In bottle at The Euston Tap. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a decent, creamy white head. Aroma of banana, cloves,caramel and just a little sauvignon blanc. Similar flavours and a mildly bitter. Moderate carbonation and a chewy mouth-feel. OK.

Pours crisp golden with frothy white head. Grass and spices in the nose with certain citrus touch. Refreshing but a bit flat in flavour with light sweetness, lightly bitter, medium sourness. Light body, oily feel, soft carbonation and astringent finish. What happen here? I was expecting more flavour, aroma and some more character overall with the Nelson Sauvin hop. Regular.

Pours a hazy honey color with a thick foamy white head...nice lacing. Aroma has mild yeasty spice...clove...mild honey notes and some light orange and earthy wheat. Flavor has mild citrus and mild spice...slight tea notes...delicate. mouthfeel is somewhat light and the finish is crisp, dry, and a bit citrusy but not sweet. Where is the 7.3%!
