330ml can. Opalescent, amber colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly perfumed, piney and grassy, hoppy aroma, spicy, rye malty background, widely disguised doughy yeasty aspects, hints of pine, fresh hay. Taste is spicy, rye malty and minimally perfumed, piney, slightly resinous and grassy hoppy, hints of pine, spruce, a touch of fresh hay, dried flowers. Minimally oily, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Dominating spicy and piney aspects, almost no doughy yeasty signs, drinkable and refreshing - very nice.

Canned (K CM Kivihaka, Vaasa). Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is rye, fruity, some nice malts as well as some floral notes. Flavour is rye, some bready and grainy notes with some floral and mild fruity notes. Surprisingly fresh and drinkable. Nice surprise from this brewery!

0,33l can from Prisma Lippulaiva. Bbe 11/23. Clear, amber golden beer with huge and cloudy, natural white head. Aroma has herbs, pine and grass and metallic notes. Flavor has malts, some metallic notes and minerals. Light body. However, good for the N/A beer.

Amber colour, tiny white head. Aroma is ... cloak? Plus wet dog? Light-bodied. Watery, harsh, ryeish, sweet worty flavour. Even as low alcohol, tastes like Saimaan pale ale. Can't imagine anyone drinking this instead of normal IPA.

Can at home, Nivala. Enjoyed straight from the can. Aromas and flavours: Grain, vegetables, paper, hops and malts. Pretty hoppy actually but vegetables destroy palate.
