0,44l can from Prisma Imatra. Canned 9.10.2024, bbe 9.7.2025. I didn't remember to check the canning date before purchase. It's a pity they even sell this old stuff. Almost clear golden beer with huge and cloudy head. Mild aroma. Aroma and flavor is spruce, herbs, dry and slightly bitter twist and some weird metallic notes. Way too old.

A small taste from a friend (can) @ Matinkylä. Pours clear yellow with a medium head. Aroma is wort with hops. Flavour is wort, hops, some alcohol. Boy, this is poor.

Rated at CoolHead Taproom. Right. Smooth, sweetish and slightly grassy hoppy with hints of pine, fruits and floral notes, mild crispy bitterness. Easy going.

(Keg at CoolHead Taproom, 20241021) The beer poured deep golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized, white and it lasted long. Aroma had ripe fruits, mango and resin. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, ripe fruits, floralness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had floralness, malts and bitterness. A tasty hoppy brew with unusual hop flavours.

Keg @ brewery. Poured clear and amber in color. Pleasantly bitter with grapefruit, pithy and piney hops. Lasting finish.
