A light refreshing Premium Ale with an intense flavour originating from The Styrian hop which gives a very distinct citrus after-taste. Light on the palate but rich in flavour, this hoppy ale is a perfect accompaniment to most spicy food dishes.

50cl bottle from K-Market, Vantaa, 4,3%. Poured clear golden color, with a small good lacing white head. Aroma is bit fruity, quite weak. Flavour is fruity hoppy, caramel malt and citrus finishes it off. Slightly bitter finish. Watery, refreshing bitter.

Copperbrown beer with quite weak and blond head. Aroma is quite fresh, toffeish malts, some sweetness and citrus fruits. In flavour biscuity malts together with nice and medium bitterness in the flavour, also some pine needles and fruityness. Easy to drink but still quite nice. More refreshning fruits with more strenght for all elements would be great, now this beer disappears into mass of mediocrity.

Bottle at blind tasting. Copper, clear colour with thin white head. Caramel aroma, sweetish and toffeeish. Sweetish, strong English bitter. Pasteurised I think, but still nice enough.
