Mielenkiintoinen konsepti, jos ei muuta. Kyse siis siitä, että jokaisessa erässä humalalajikkeet vaihtuvat ja jokainen erä on siten ikäänkuin uusi olut. Toinen erä on väriltään aavistuksen utuinen, kullankeltainen olut noin puolen sentin vaahtokerroksella. Tuoksu on maltainen, viljainen, kukkainen ja aavistuksen hedelmäinen. Maussa maltaisuutta ja greippistä katkeruutta aavistuksenomaisella kukkaisuudella ja hedelmäisyydellä höystettynä. Aavistuksen ykköserää parempi. Lisäpiste mielenkiintoisesta ideasta.

(Can, 0.33 l, 20151229) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had citricness, peach and pine. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, pine, malts, paper and bitterness. Aftertaste was quite bitter. A brew with pleasant aroma and too harsh taste.

330ml can, vertical with batches 1-3.
Pours clear orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of earthy grainy maltiness, hints of grass, pine and floral notes. Taste is earthy, grainy and slightly fruity with some citrusy and piney notes. Finish is crisp, earthy and grassy with some hints of citrus. Best of the three by far, but still not very clean or tasty. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brewer's Special Joker Hop Ale (batch #2) on 07 Nov 2015 at 19:46 - Score: 6

Can (from K CM Kivihaka, Vaasa). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, some catpissy notes, mild dry wood as well as some herbs. Flavour is quite similar with some maltiness and quite strong bitterness to it as well. Balanced.

33cl can. Pours dark amber with a thick white head. Aroma has forestry notes, pine, malt. Flavor has biscuity malts, hop oil, pine. Strong bitterness. Probably quite old. as the hops are not very recognizable anymore. Nice body though.

An slightly orange colour, a head is big and blond. Aroma has citrusfruits, bread/biscuity maltyness, some caramel and honeydew. Taste has bread, citrusfruits, medium bitterness. Quite long lasting and hoppyness aftertaste. Almost medium bodied. Clearly better than batch #1, but not very convincing. Decent.

Can 330ml (sample from the brewery)
Hazy orange color, good cloudy white head, lace. Aroma has citrus, bread and pine and some harsh hoppyness too. Light to medium-bodied. Citrus, pine and resin in the flavor. Lingering bitterness with harsh notes. Much better than the batch #1 but maybe it could be fruitier. Maybe it is unmalted rye which doesn’t work so well here.
