Full of hops and with a lasting fruity flavour, this beer is inspired by bold American pale ales.

33cl bottle from CM, Sello. Amber colored beer, thin white head. Nice fruity hoppyness in aroma, citrus, some toffee. Flavor has toffee, cookies, wood, sweetness. Slightly cardboardy finish, dry. Despite the finish, a tasty golden ale, something here I really enjoy, can’t put my finger on it.

(Keg at William K Annankatu, 20140829) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had sweetness, earth and malts. Palat was medium bodied and fizzy. Flavours were malts, earth, sweetness, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. Nothing American here but strong English hops according to my brain. Too fizzy.

Bottle 330ml (K-Kamppi)
Clear orange color, small white head. Aroma has diacetyl? yeast? ... fruityness. Light-bodied. More character than many other Greene Kings ... in its unclean touch. Fruity yeasty flavor with light touch of hoppy bitterness.

330ml bottle. Clear orangey golden to amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Fruity hoppy aroma has notes of gooseberry, hints of raspberry and mandarine. Taste is dry and slightly fruity hoppy, notes of gooseberry, slightly papery dryness, subtle malt sweetness. Typical berry notes of English hops - OK.

I’m going to put the keg rating under here, as it seems more reasonable than a cask rate. Pours clear golden amber, thin white head. Aromas are buttery, light citrus. Taste is more butter, light sweetness. Too fizzy. Not very good.
