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.

Bottle at LKS - thanks to Wingman. It pours clear copper with a small off-white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy citrus, lemony, grapefruit, sherbet, pine needles, brioche, white bread and grass. The taste is dry, bitter, lemony, grassy, lemongrass, icing sugar, pithy citrus, limey vibes and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent.

A beautiful amber beer, a head is big and blond. Aroma has grapefruit, pine, fructose, some sweet mandarin. Taste has grapefruit, some caramel, pine-herbs. The bitterness could be stronger, but it's quite enough, anyway. Medium bodied, smooth. This is a good beer, basickly simple but nicely balanced.
