Bottled (from Minimani Vaasa). Amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is floral, some nutty and mild biscuity maltiness to it. Flavour is floral, some quite hard watery tones, mild bitterness along with some resin and biscuit tones.

2/1/2022. Bottle at the New Year beer share. From Beers of Europe. Pours clear pale amber with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, toffee, fruits, orange, dried fruits, toast and butter. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Oily watery texture, average carbonation. Nice aroma, great looks, just lacked some body but was better than I'd expected.
