100ml on tap at the brewpub. Served at a sample tray with seven different brews. This one has got a hazy, amber body with a thin, creamy white foam blanketing the glass. Moderate floral aroma. Rounded hop bitterness in the taste offset by a discreet touch of malts. Dry ending (Trondheim, 12.12.2007).

Big lasting shiny offwhite creamy head rises out of the glass. Hazy amber body. Chalky, malty, hoppy floral aroma, quite faint, with dusty, smoky notes. Dry, dusty resiny floral hoppy taste with watery straw notes. A bit musty. No aftertaste. Ok, but a bit boring and unbalanced. (0.33l draft at TMB.)

Comments: Smooth bodied, creamy, yet soft-bubbled texture for a cask imitation. Floral and spicier than the regular pale, clean, orangey and hoppy.

0,33 cl glass at the brewpub. Took 15 minutes to tap... Cloudy golden color. Lovely beige, creamy head. Malt and hops, some sweetness. A good bitter.

Tap. Nice creamy head, cloudy pale brown body. Light aroma, partly fruity. Light flavour with som frutiness. Flat carbonation. Ok beer. (Trondhj. MB, 03.04.07)
