On tap at the One Pint Pub, Helsinki. 6.8%. Mid-gold with a large but quickly disappearing white head. Clear. Tropical fruit (mostly banana), floral and seawater aroma with a hint of sourness. Bitter taste with only a smudge of fruity hop sweetness. Unrelenting bitterness in the long finish. Watery body for the style and ABV. Good enough but I take a little bit of issue with the way it hangs together. The balance is slightly off and that ambrosial IPA experience is nowhere to be found. Still, go ahead and give it a go, see what you think.

One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Keg. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, decent fine carbonation. Dry pale malts, touch of grain. Dry pithy hops, dry orange, a little peel. Dry pithy finish. A bit too dry and lacking hop brightness, but it’s drinkable.

Keg at One Pint Pub. It pours hazy golden-orange with a small white head. The nose is soft, doughy, grassy, cracker and light herbal. The taste is crisp, bitter, doughy, grapefruit, minerals, sherbet, waxy citrus, grassy and light herbal with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Perhaps a bit harsh, but not bad.

Draught @ One Pint Pub, Helsinki
Rating #1337! - Pours light orange with a tiny head. Aroma of piney hops, grass, malts and fruits. Taste is grassy and slightly malty with some harsh piney hoppiness and notes of lemon. Finish is malty, fruity and bitter with some lemony and piney notes. Okay, quite tasty, but slightly unbalanced IPA

Draught @ HBF ’11. Rated on 08.04.2011
Aroma is rather unusual to an IPA with raw bun dough and vegetables. Flavour is fresh, but does not feel IPA still; just some hops with grapefruit and biscuits. Flat.

Draught at One Pint Pub, Helsinki (as Malmgård Alpo’s IPA). Hazy pale amber, small head. Fruity, slightly grapefruity nose. Mid sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Very fruity with really bitter finish. More fruity and hard than hop aromatic.
