Slightly hazy amber. Smells a bit funk - Sun says rambutan and I think that’s reasonable. Fruity-hoppy character, perhaps a bit overripe. Melony finish. Not to my taste, if nothing else.

Cask@Pullman Bar, Helsinki. Golden colour, mediumsized off-white colour. Aroma is fruits, hops, some slight yeast and quite wooden. Flavour is fruits, wooden, mild yeastyness as well as some smoooth grassyness lurking. As it warms up it gets some caramelly notes as well.
