Sample from bottle at Vectura-messe. Orange colour. Aroma of crystal malts and orangey American hops. Sharp hoppy flavour throughout. Not the best beer from Founders. Rerate, at Cardinal: More impressed now, distinctly hoppy, good beer.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pale golden colour, large white head. Distinctly malty and grainy aroma. The flavour is also more malty / grainy than hoppy, but there are some fairly distinct herbal hops in the finish. Not bad.
