(bottle) Cloudy, dark orange coloured hue with a big and dense off-white foamy head. Flowery and moderately fruity (redcurrant) hoppy aroma with a spicy touch and a soft malty background. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium body with a calm carbonation. Almost dry malty base with delicate berry fruity notes and flowery and spicy hops, lingering into the dry and moderately bitter finish. An aromatic and balanced brew (15.II.09).

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Clear amber golden with a dense off-white head leaving laces. Fresh and fruity and somewhat berry-like aroma. Quite full-bodied with fruits and a little burned caramel before a fairly dry and bitter finish. 301108

Bottle, 5.2% as Huvila Savonlinna ESB. Citrus fruit aroma. Almost clear dark golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is malty with some citrus and a distinct Brett note. The bitterness is a bit rough, but works OK. The Brett seems out of place, but adds a little interesting note to the beer.

[i] [b] Bottle at the Rake, Borough Market area, Lahndan tahn 21-06-08 [/b] [/i] Pours amber with slight off white head. There is a slight sourness on the nose also some faint tropical fruits linger in there. Tasty, fruity with a good rush of bitterness and citric edge to this I like it.

Draught at Kaisla, Helsinki- Copper coloured with a small head. Malty and slightly fruit aroma. Malty and well balanced refreshing taste with raisins featuring. Nicely balanced and nice to have a beer which is not a hophead’s dream!

Bottled. An unclear copper colored beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and oranges. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and fruits - especially oranges, but also a light touch of hops, before a dry finish with a light touch of nuts sets in.
