12 fl. oz. bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV not mentioned on the label. Orange to amber colour, moderate to low white head. Dusty and uninteresting aroma, notes of cardboard. The flavour has some fruitiness, but is otherwise dusty, bland and boring. Minimal hops. Disappointing.

The beer poured a hazy orange-gold colour with a thin white short-lived head. The aroma was light fruits, yeast, grains, citrus, and funk. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was grassy malt, yeast, and honey.

My Karma almost ran over my dogma, but I managed to stay the course as far as the eradication of the Bottle Backlog here at Chez Woody.

From the bottle: "Inspired by the principle of karma and the wonderful farmhouse and pale ales of Belgium, we have created this bright and estery Belgian-style ale with a beautiful amber hue. Here's to being good!"; "Good ale happens to good people."

Following a Pop! of the cap, I began a gentle pour since it was a bottle of unknown age and origin. I got a good amount of foaming anyway, resulting in two fingers of foamy, tawny head with decent retention. Color was Deep Amber/Light Copper to Copper (SRM = > 13, < 17) with NE-quality clarity. Nose was mildly sweet and malty with a light honey-like quality and a fruitiness from the esters mentioned on the label. I smelled grapes and apples, primarily. Mouthfeel was medium. The taste had a breadiness to go with the fruity tastes of pears, apples, golden raisins and white grapes as well as a slight peppery spiciness. Finish was very dry, indicative of the Belgian yeast really having done its job. The relatively low ABV put me in mind of a table beer. It was eminently drinkable, but it just was not quite scratching my itch.
