546mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours brown with touches of reddish purple, a nice head. Flavour of nondescript malt and hop, but rather drab. There’s nothing wrong with it, but there’s nothing that makes me want to have it again. Better than a macrobrew, but ultimately boring.

Amber colour with a quite thin white head that doesn’t last long. Aroma is hoppy. The flavour is hoppy with some malt and fruity notes. Nice long bitter aftertaste. Decent brew.

Bottle: Poured a deep brown but see through, head is an off white to tan. Aroma is grassy. Taste is malty and caramel with a dry bittery metallic finish.

taste is bitter and at the same time refreshing. The good kind of bitter. and the finish is a touch fruity. Nice brew.

500ml bottle @ Balsam Cocktail Lounge, Oslo Norway. Beautifull copper color. Nice and malty. Not much hops there. A great introduction to ales
