Very hazy amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Mild marmalade, thin. White smoke. Modest bitterness and tangy orange in the dry finish. Doesn’t really flow for me but it’s okay.

Hazy reddish amber beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is semi dry and crisp. Little dry cream in the malt. Plenty of woody smoke but it avoids being acrid. Traces of marmalade and plummy fruits underneath. Finishes dry. Smoky linger. Not bad.

Bottle [from trade with GlasgowTAD] shared with Martinus @ Help Benzai to 10 Sahti/Gotlandsdricke/Koduõlu - ticks tasting. Hazy rusty orange to copper color, average sized white to off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Smell and taste malts, lightly smoke, a touch of berries (should be juniper berries then I guess..) and softly sweet-bitter in the finish. Decent body and carbonation. Not bad.
