33 cl bottle @ home. Batch #062, BBE 23.09.2015
Huge foam even though I poured more careful than ever. Aroma is musty with strong spices, some soapy citrus and some hayish notes. Foamy palate with stingy CO2. Flavour is musty with soapy citrus, some ginger, . Finishes floury with milky tones. Messy and foamy but at least this hides the ABV well.

330ml bottle, BBE 23.9.15
Pours clear yellowish golden with a massive foamy head. Aroma of lemon, citrus, ginger, wheaty notes and hints of spices. Taste is crisp, carbonated and yeasty with loads of lemon, citrus and hints of ginger. Finish is crisp, wheaty and a bit stuffy with some lemon, ginger and yeast. A bit messy.

33cl bottle from Sip, Tallinn. Pours slightly hazy golden to orange with a lasting, white head. Rather spicy and yeasty aroma with citrusy and wheaty notes and hints of ginger. Moderate sweet with a yeasty and spicy flavours with a light acidity and a rather dry finish. Not quite my style, but fairly refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Valge Laev (2015-) on 18 Apr 2015 at 18:48 - Score: 6

0,33L bottle, batch 062. Pours hazy straw-golden with huge white head. The head stays. Aroma is citrus, phenols, lemon, spices. Flavor is sweet and sour with a touch of bitterness, citrus, lemon, spices, ginger. Finish is grapefruit bitter with spices. Overall: I rather like this one, but I’m little tired of the magnum hops they use in almost every brew.

33cl bottle @ Speakeasy, Tallinn. Pours nice deep golden, thin white head. Ginger comes nicely through here, along with some other spices I can figure out. Lemon as second. Refreshing and crisp. Flavor is pretty much the same. Easy drinking if you like this kind of brews.
