Samea oranssinruskea olut vaahtoaa todella runsaasti beigellä reilusti pitsiä jättävällä vaahdolla. Tuoksu hiivainen ja hieman hedelmäinen sekä sitruksinen. Maku hieman katkeran hedelmäinen ja hiivainen sekä yrttisen humaloitu. Melko kuiva ja katkera kivasti humaloitu brittityylinen tekele.

A murky, light copper beer with a quite weak, dense and blond head. Aroma has red berries, malts, some sour vegetables, white aspargus. Taste is quite mild, some caramel malts, bread, berries, also vegetables. Slightly sour, is it meant to be or not. No biting bitterness. Medium bodied, low carbonation, quite smooth. Slightly unpure and thus, not a pleasant beer.

Bottled@Pub Winston Festival. Goldeny orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, some wheat mild floral and spicy notes. Flavour is floral, fruity, wooden and some citrusy notes. More like a modern British golden ale than a bitter, but sometimes the borderline is rather close...

Shared 500ml bottle at 60’s Palaver. Stable layer over a cloudy apricot coloured body. Minimal lacing. Leafy hops on the nose. Taste of grassy hops and dark honey sweetness providing a mild bittersweet ending with a little touch of pine needles. Medium bodied. Soft in the mouth. Okay bitter (Joensuu 13.08.2014).

(Bottle, 0.5 l - BB 2.5.2015, at One Pint Pub, 20140727) The beer poured deep amber and almost clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, molasses and earth. Palate was medium bodied with quite high carbonation. Flavours were malts, earth, molasses and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A decent malty brew but not really a bitter.
