Thin offwhite head with some larger bubbles. Amber faintly hazy body with strong carbonation. Sweetish caramelly malt aroma with resiny floral hops. Faint, but harmonic and good. Dry delicate resiny floral hoppy taste of caramelly malts. Some residual sweetness. A tad watery. Dry dusty roasty malt and resiny floral hops aftertaste. Very nice! (0.5l draft at TMB.)

Comments: A good, if light example with floral and earthy hoppiness peaked by orange hints.

0,45 glass at the brewpub. Amber/copper color. Lovely beige head. Sweet malt, nice bitterness, a bit floral. Lovely with their chicken-burger.

Tap. Small flat head, but quite nice. Nice amber body. Full-bodied aroma, actually I can smell some strawberry ice cream. But all in all a very good aroma. Dry and fresh flavour. A tad of fresh fruits. Easy drinkable and balanced. (Trondhj. MB, 03.04.07)

Nice aroma, mostly hops and yeast, makes you looking forward to taste it. Nice head texture, even if it is not much of it. Kind of fizzy, with a fruity taste, is it citrus? A bit bitter at first but it rapidly transforms to a sweeter taste. (At brewpub, Trondheim April 2007)

Fruity and slihtly bitter, but not much so. Find aftertaste of hops, a little yeasty.

Sampled draught at the brewpub.
Clear amber. Dry with clean, but firm malt profile. Light bodied. Really roasty with some grapefruity hops and notes of licorice. Salty finish.
