Draught at Teerenpeli, Helsinki. Colour is orange with white head. Aromas and flavours have toffee, malts, hops and bitterness.

(Draught at Teerenpeli Kamppi, 20121116) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, toffee and herbalness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, toffee, malts, berries, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, hoppy and bitter. An unbalanced and messy brew with some flavours pointing to fermentation errors. Not a good one.
