50 cl can @ home, BBE 15.04.2021 Aroma has odd plastic vibes, tropical fruits, minerals and toffee. Flavour has malt, minerals, odd plastic vibes and herbs in the finish. A mediocre APA with platic notes typical to N/A beers.

Can 500ml (K-Supermarket Viikinäinen)
Copper colour small off-white head. Harsh woody aroma with some fruits - same in than all Saimaa APAs. Light to medium-bodied. Some caramalt, light tropical fruits and then harsh Saimaa hops. The waste of expensive cryo hops here.
