Bottled. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, wooden and some spruce. Flavour floral, fruity and some spruce along with sweet malts. Nothing unclean in this bottle. Slight boredom and "keeping it simple". Still better than something infected, which many peeps seem to have have.

Bottled 330ml (K-Supermarket City, Pori)
Slightly hazy golden color, steady small white head. Raisin-citrus aroma is oddly similar to Finnish low alcohol mead, sima. Light-bodied. Same sima flavors too. Raisins, citrus, DMS, dry yeasty. Short watery finish. Bad homebrewish (but not tart).

Many thanks to rosenbergh for this bottle! Sadly this bottle exploded in my cellar without any reason. The nose from the rest was fruity-fresh, hints of fruity sourness. And it left quite a mess...

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 03/2015. Thanks tiong!
Aroma has boiled cabbage, some sewer aromas and some bitter nettles. Flavour has boiled cabbage, some fruity tones, grain, some gooseberry bush leaves and hints of nettles. Also some bun dough and wort. Finishes with some cardboard tones. Quite a mess with some off-flavours.

330ml bottle from K-Supermarket Veljmies, Kuopio
Pours clear copper orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of berries, boiled vegetables and yeast. Taste is sweet, messy and fruity estery with off flavors, vegetables, some maltiness and yeast. Finish is sweetish and slightly fruity with some berries, vegetables, off flavors and yeastiness. Quite messy and bad brew.
