Lovely mahogny color. Crisp, clean and bitter beer, seducing blend of hops. Refreshing, very moreish. Well balanced, well crafted. Long bitter finish.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small tan head. Aroma is dense hops fruity and dark roasted malty. Lingering caramelish and roasted malty. Dense hops fruity and bitter flavours coming through. Ends dry and lingering malty.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 18 Sep 2009) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, grapefruit and red berries. Fruity, malty taste with red berries, grapefruit, caramel, a touch of gentian root and pine needles in the finish. Solid malt structure and a generous citrussy hop character makes this a very well balanced and tasty beer. Really nice.

Botella de 500ml. Vaso de Pinta. Saboreada en agt´11. Color ambar brillante. Algo velada. Espuma marfil amarillenta. La corona túpida, de burbuja pequeña, muestra una excelente retención. El aroma de lúpulo desborda las maltas moderadamente tostadas. Malta biscuit al primer sorbo seguida por malta caramelo, malta chocolate y una seca, pero gentil, lupulización subyacente. Sutil afrutado – cítricos y frutos del bosque- en el intermedio. Cuerpo medio y carbonatación moderada. Final dulce áspero. El ABV se percibe con un toque especiado. Retrogusto suave y resinoso. Buena asimilación. Maridaje: Sandwiches de bacón y queso. 500ml bottle. Pint glass. Enjoyed on agt´11. Brigth amber in color. Chill haze. Yellowish off-white froth. Close, small bubbled, crown shows excellent retention.Hop aroma overwhelms moderate toasted malts. Biscuit malts at first sip followed caramel malt, choco malt & dry but gentle underliying hoppiness. Subtle fruitness – citrics & berries- in the middle. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Harsh sweet finish. ABV is felt with spicy touch. Smooth resiny aftertaste. Good drinkability. Pairing: Bacon & cheese sandwiches.

Bottled. A red beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is lovely hoppy - which among others lends it notes of elderflowers, but it also has notes of malt, caramel, yeast, and a touch of dust. The flavor is very sweet with notes of malt, hops, elderflowers, pollen, and hay, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

On bottle from Vinmonopolet Stovner Red color, good foam Medium body & medium high complexity. Good integrated hops Very enjoyable ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at Akkurat. Pours a hazy and dark copper beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, notes of caramel and hops with citrus. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is bitterness. Overall a really good beer.

Clear dark copper color, big lasting tan head. Bitter, fruity, metallic, cream taste. Metallic and bitter aftertaste. Moussy mouthfeel, medium bitterness that lingers a bit. Sweet, malty, fruity scent.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear amber, coarse head. Very powerful perfumy mango/lychee aroma. Dryish and clean, very hoppy and very aromatic. Perfumy bitter finish. Very American in style, really good!

500 ml bottle, at Olympen, Oslo. ABV is 6.2%. Reddish brown colour, large to moderate off-white head. Moderate aroma, a little malts with hints of caramel, some fruity hops. The flavour has distinct hops (Centennial and Amarillo) from start to finish, with a solid bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite nice.
