Draft pint shaker, "beer of the month" at Another Round. Took me til now to finally pop the cap on a Pollyanna beer. Hazy gold pour with a short but persistent head. The smell has the familiar, piney nose of PNW hops. Hop bitterness is much more pronounced in that first sip. I’m only guess Cascade and Mosaic, maybe a pinch of Amarillo? Deep into the glass I get some citrus notes, maybe even a bit of lime. Just a bit more malt than normal, needed to stand up to the hops, and enough to be a little sticky and chewy. The whole effect is a bit like "hop hash." Tastes much stronger than its 5.4% abv would suggest.

4 month old can. Hazy orange body, unfiltered. Foam, patchy, steady bright white head. Drinks like a pretty standard APA, maybe a little thin with the malts..going for a new school body profile, but not really having the hops or chops to back it up. Drinkable. Mild earthy NW hop balance. OK.

Cwn in our shabby Helsinki apartment. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, a little dry and has reasonable fine carhonation. Clean pale malts, modest sweetness. Minty pine hops leading to light but fresh orange and orange peel. Some hop spice in the biting crisp finish. Nice.

Slightly hazy orange-yellow color, small steady white head, some lace. Orange, citrus and mango in the nose. Light to medium-bodied. Mango, pine, citrus. Rough bitterness with thinnish malt profile. Not at the level of Lexical Gap but a good APA anyway. And nice that these feel so fresh in Finland.

Quite light, slighty orange beer, a head is medium and white. Aroma has fruitness of grapefruits, some pine and unfortunately also vegetables. Taste has citrusfruits, herbs, some vegetables, quite mild bitterness is enough. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Hint of vegetables ruins this beer.
