Tonttu is single hopped with the Australian Enigma hop that gives a tropical fruit and near strawberry character that works beautifully with a little sweetness with it being a red ale.

Flaske fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Langnes. Gyldenbrun. Lavt tett skum som daler sakte. God ferskenaroma. Smaken balansert. Mye tørket aprikos. Blir tørr etter hvert. Godt øl!

Bottle from Mace SCR, Dublin [090718]
Dark amber, light haze, white head
Aroma of citrus hops, soft lemon, soft zest, soft sweet malt under the hops
Taste of caramel malts, citrus zest, soft toasted malts, quite hoppy, good flavour
Palate - Medium carb and body, quite bitter, good bitter sweet balance, no alcohol. Finish if a bit dry, bitter zest
Overall - Not really an Xmas ale, just a good hoppy red ale. Liked it.

330ml bottle. Barely clear, amber colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, fruity, minimally earthy and leafy, hoppy aroma, notes of red berries, foremost redcurrant, strawberry, lingonberry. Taste is sweet-ish malty and fruity, minimally leafy and earthy, hoppy, notes of red berries and corresponding shrubs. Quite classic "British" fruitiness.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop Canterbury and drunk on a train. Deep amber colour lasting white head. Some malts some sweetness. Some harsh bitterness on the finish. Fruit? Hmmm a little jammy malt fruit i suppose. Light strawberry flavour. Decent if not too exciting. Decent.
