Draught@HBF2014. Orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, caramelly with some mild wheat too. Flavour is fruity, wheaty, some sligth herbal and caramelly notes as well. Ok balance, but otherwise not that interesting.

Aroma has fruit candy, some fruity hops and caramel. Flavour has fruit candy, some hay, grainy notes and hints of caramel. Also gooseberry bush. A bit empty finish. Refreshing but a bit watery.

Tap @ Bruuveri. Hazy yellow, creamy white head. Light tart, wheat and citrus in aroma. Flavor has citrus, lavendel, wheat and hops. Quite dry finish. Thin, refreshing.

Hazy orange color, small white head. Wheaty, some orange. Light-bodied. Citrus-fruity, piney, evident wheaty-banana notes. This combination doesn’t work so well.

(Keg at Bruuveri, 20131213) This beer should be under Saimaan Panimo instead of Bruuveri. The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized, white and it lasted long. Aroma had spices, fruitiness and citricness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, spices, malts, grass and bitterness. Afteraste was spicy, grassy and bitter. A nice spicy wheat ale. A suprsingly solid brew from Saimaa.
