Draught@Lakeuden Panimojuhlat 2020, Seinäjoki. Slightly hazy deep golden colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is crisp malts, some tropical fruits, mild nectar and some slight grassy tones. Flavour is tropical fruits, some mild ripe fruits, nectar, grass and mild bready and biscuity malts to it. Quite crisp with a nice bitter bite to it.

Thin off white head left a spotty cover & lacing on a pale amber coloured body full of static air bubbles - weird! Pine, peach & confectionery aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the palate with softer back & clean dry aft. Bitter pithy tastes with pine, nectarine, grapefruit, bitter citrus & a tangy finish. Good one.
