Bottle from Tbone. Amber color, hazy. Malt and nutmeg in the aroma. Sweet flavor with floral hops and licorice. Longish hoppy aftertaste. Promising, but too sweet to be really good.

(Draught at Kaisla, Helsinki, 14 Dec 2015) Reddish amber colour with brief, frothy beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, red fruit, citrus and apricots. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, orange peel, black-currant, citrus and a balanced citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.

Bottle from The Bryggeri, Helsinki. Poured a hazy medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is light malt hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a light malt, grassy, spice hop citrus bitter palate and a short bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Very drinkable and very refreshing.

0,5L bottle. Pours murky amber with off white head. The head stays. Aroma is fresh apples. Taste: sweet and sour, malt, apples, and bitterness in the background. Overall well-made fruity brew, maybe a little bit too simple.
