Clear light golden color with okay head. Smokey bread flavor. Slight bitterness, and quite exciting. From my Backlog.

Cask Conditioned gravity dispense Queen Adelaide Northampton. A hazy orange coloured beer with a whitish head. A sour mash aroma and taste. Fruity in a weird way. Sour oranges. Odd and mixed up.

Bottle. Fruit and flowers in aroma. Clear yellow colour with white head. Mild fruity flavour with just a little added malt and slight bitterness. Not a typical bitter, but light and elegant.

Hazy blond color. It has a grassy aroma, light manure. Simple flavor, with very light malt and manure. It may sound weird, but it’s not a bad beer.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Like all bottled beers from this brewery, it is filtered to remove all remaining yeast (but possibly not pasteurised?). ABV is 4.0%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Fairly boring "dusty" aroma. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is better than the aroma, some fruity hops, quite refreshing. A sharpish bitterness in the aftertaste.

Pours light yellow golden with a small white head. Aroma of light syrup, Taste is light sweet, acidic and bitter. Short sour finish , slightly astringent.. Watery texture with a soft carbonation. Uninteresting. (9.12.2009 Bottle @ Cardinal, Onsdag^2)
