Pale clear yellow beer, small to no head. Aroma: diacetyl, and lots of it, bit sweetish impression, metallic, more butter, bah. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty metallic start, unpleasant bitterness, very malty, hay, cow fodder, where's my damn Citra?? Aftertaste: very buttery, bit of a chemical bitterness, metallic. Not good, not good at all.

33cl bottle from K-supermarket Postitalo, Helsinki. Pours clear deep golden with a fairly small, white head. Surprisingly funky aroma, the hops comes in the background. Guess it might be infected as there are clear notes of barnyard and other funky stuff. Mild citrus and fruits in the back. Moderate sweet, fairly funky with a light acidity and some bitterness. Not quite I expected and probably not what it was supposed to be, but still drinkable. Might try it again to see how it’s supposed to be.

Bottle in our somewhat shabby Helsinki apartment. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and finely minerally crisp. Dry pale malts, thin and mildly sweet. Pithy dry orangey hops, touch of lemon. Mild hop spice. Modest yellow grwpefruit. Dry crisp finish. A bit dry but not bad.

330ml Bottle - Golden in colour. Grain and gooseberries in the aroma. Grapefruit, gooseberries and grain in the taste. I think they were a bit tight with the citra hops.

330ml bottle from local supermarket. Chugged in our hotel. Pours hazy gold, white head. Light floral citrus aroma. Taste presents a rigorous bitter character that is largely lacking in the citrussy grapefruit elements expected. Disappointing.
