3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
50cl bottle. Pours a very light golden colour with a small head. The taste has a very obvious combination of hops (grapefruit) and malt (biscuits). The nose has the biscuits evident but more of a caramel. The palate is light to medium in body and texture with a fairly clean finish.

12.02.2013. On tap at Henrik øl og vin, Bergen. Amber brown colour with a low off-white bitter head. Sweet malty aroma. Rather sweet and soft, but there is also some sharp bitterness at the end.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ Henrik. This is a clear deep golden one with a small lacing islandy off-white top. It smells quite inviting! Could be the fact that I haven’t had a beer in a week, but it’s caramel-sweet, fruity with some nice ripe melon and some traces of soft watery nuts. It has a nice prickling carbonation level with a thin oily to watery mouthfeel. It actually has a decent amount of flavor for such a lightweighter. Thin caramel with a floral bitterness. Kinda minerally, soft leafs and some butter. Not like in diacetyl, just good old butter. Lightdrinkable, not over exciting at all but definitely decent as a quencher. 18.01.2013
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap @ Henrik, Bergen. Dark golden body, medium white head. Nose is pale and caramel malt tones, hints of toffee and biscuits. Taste is caramel, bread tones and hints of herbal grass, with a nice bitter resinous finish. Surprisingly full body for the low ABV. Creamy mouthfeel. This was a nice surprise.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500 ml bottle. Dim, dark golden body with a dense, white head. Unusually big bubbles by the way. Moderate aroma of sweet grain and fruity hops. Flavor is quite light malty, sweet, fruity and some bitterness. Body is moderate to thin. A refreshing and uncomplicated beer, nothing really wrong but easy to forget. Just above average all the way.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
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 4.5%. Deep orange to amber colour, some chill haze. Moderate white head. Moderate aroma, some grainy and hoppy notes. The flavour is quite dry, first some sharpish grainy notes, then even more sharpish hops in the finish. A bit too far out on the dry side for me.
