(Cask, gravity, at Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, 20231028) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had toffee, malts and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were toffee, grass, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty and bitter. A tasty and balanced hoppy brew with good malty backbone.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Beer Merchants online. Pours clear gold with a fluffy, pure white head. Lightly sweet with lots of fresh crispy biscuits, crunchy cereal, straw, grass. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Finishes with more crunchy biscuits, dirty straw, a little earthy bitterness. Really well rounded and drinkable.
