Keg at Black Door, Helsinki. Cloudy pale amber, creamy head. Funky lemony nose with winegums and old garbage. Sweetish with medium body and rounded, sticky mouthfeel. Stuffy, syrupy and exceptionally resiny. Sour winegums, citric acid and garbage. Chemical super bitter finish. What happened here?

Bottled@Mallaskosken olut-tapahtuma IV. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, nectary with some nice sweet balancing malts. Flavour is fruity, floral, toffeeish and has a quite strong straw/resiny take to it. Also some mild wooden and malty notes in the flavour. Clearly a step up from this brewery’s earlier beers.

Draught @ Malja, Kuopio
Pours yellowish orange with a bubbly head. Aroma of sweet fruits, malts and earthy grassy notes. Taste is fruity, sweet and grassy with some maltiness and earthy notes. Finish is smooth, sweetish and a bit grainy with some fruity grassy notes. Okay, slightly unclean IPA. --- Beer merged from original tick of Savo IPA on 26 Sep 2014 at 18:36 - Score: 7

Tap at Villi Wäinö.Whopping 8? per 0,4 ltr! Hazy dark amber color, steady off-white head, lace. "Fermenting gases" in the nose. Medium-bodied. Light apricot fruityness. Fruity lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Sweetish. Tolerable. Feels less than its abv.

(Keg at Villi Wäinö, 20140426) The beer poured deep amber and cloudy. Its had was medium sized, white and it disappeared quite quickly. Aroma had fruitiness, buttery toffee and malts. Palate was thin bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, sweetness, buttery toffee and bitterness. Aftertaste was mild and bitter. A good try but left somewhat thin feeling.

Tap at Villi Wäinö, Helsinki. Colour is clear orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, some crispiness, some pines, hops and malts. Well, this is little bit of "tunkkainen". Needs freshness and fruitiness. Body is quite good.

Draught @ Villi Wäinö
Aroma is a bit odd with fruity hops and bitter herbal tones. Flavour has minerals, fruity hops, some grapefruit and hints of nettles. Finishes with bitter herbal tones, some gooseberry bush and hints of vegetables. Also some strawberry tones do occur after some sips. Not very nice, needs more fruits. Gets a bit better towards the end of the glass though.
