Draught@Bruuveri 9.4.2013 Deep amber/copper color, steady creamy off-white head. Fruity, kind of exotic, grapey? aroma. Medium-bodied. Woody malty flavor, light overriped note in fruity hoppyness. Bitterness and touch of alcohol in the finish. Drinkable although a bit straightforward alcoholic DIPA.

Draught@HBF2013. Slightly hazy copper colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is hops, some floral and bready notes. Flavour is caramel, very strong floral and grassy hops along with some mild fruityness. Quite sweet malts carrying up a somekind of balance to the (for me) quite harsh hoppyness.

Draught @ HBF
Aroma is quite light with some malty notes, raspberries and caramel. Flavour is sweetish with raspberries, resin and malt. Like a lighter version of Papa Laine. Lower on berries, which is a good thing.

Draught @ Bruuveri, Helsinki
Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Mild aroma of malts, caramel, hints of fruits and hops. Taste is sweetish malty and mildly fruity with some grass and pine notes, hints of berries. Finish is smooth, malty and hoppy with hints of caramel and fruits. Quite malty, but smooth and not as harshly hopped as some of their other IPAs. Could’ve used a bit more fruitiness, though.
