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.

Draft. A red beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel, spicy hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, spices, citrus fruits, and hops, leading to a bitter finish.

Tap. Bath Hotel, Sheffield. Clear, reddy amber. Huge, bubbly, rocky, cream head. Smells as jammy and spicy as it looks. Some chewy malts. Some pineapple, too. Nicely rich. Taste is nicely balanced, toffee sweet and fruity, spicy bitter. Good body. Prickly carbonation. Spicy bitter finish. Best from Thornbridge in a while.

Keg at CBC Holborn - London. Pours clear honey-gold with a creamy white head. Lovely aroma, with notes of grapefruit, melon, pine, dry pale bread. Light to medium sweet flavour with pithy citrus, light oily pine, subtle grass, bread, melon, tangerine. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, but very clean, with bright citrus fruits, drying pith, mellow pale malt sugars, papaya. Really solid IPA.

On keg at Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Clear copper coloured body, lacing white head. Lots of tropical fruit and spicy citrus in the nose, it is still there in the taste, but with a lingering herby hop kick there as well. Refreshing, but very hop heavy.
