Bottle. A clear one, dark golden to amber in color, with a dense, two-finger light beige head leaving lacings. The aroma has a weak but pleasant hoppyness, with resins and grapefruit. Pale malts and caramel notes. There’s a nice bitterness in the flavor, with grapefruit and resins. Rather effervescent, full-bodied and semi-sweet. Lasting bitter, caramel finish. Not very interesting this one, especially not as a Christmas beer. 150228

Bottled (from K Citymarket Kivihaka, Vaasa). Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is wooden, herbal, some nice grassy notes as well as some caramel malts. Flavour is nice bready and crisp malts along with some wood, mild sweet floral notes, resin, sap and some sprucelike notes as well. Surprisingly hooky, and atleast I enjoyed having this in big gulps. Nothing that special, but a clean and easy to go beer with a pleasant lever of bitterness.

500ml bottle from K-Citymarket Sello
Pours copper orange with a small white head. Aroma of bready malts, some grassy and earthy notes, hints of caramel and toffee. Taste is smooth, earthy and crisp with some earthy maltiness, bready notes, caramel and grassy hops. Finish is malty, slightly hoppy and caramely with some toffee notes. Quite easy going and dull.

Bottle 500ml (K-Kamppi)
Clear deep amber-copper color, small white head. Aroma is fruity-flowery hoppy flavor with pine. Light to medium-bodied, decent maltyness for this ABV. Caramalt, pine-spuce hoppyness with light fruityness. Clean, nicely hoppy amber ale. Of course not much Christmas here.

A quite dark, reddish copper beer with a medium and blond head. The nose has tropical fruits, pine is dominating, some caramel. Taste is strongly piney with a pleasant bitterness, some caramell but still quite dry. Medium bodied, nice and smooth. Positive and piney beer with a nice body and bitterness.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 11.05.2015
Aroma has sweet fruity tones, some toffee and hints of resin. Flavour has hops, resiny tones, toffee, nuts, and some sweet fruits. Well balanced, clean and more rich than the previous Olutpaja beers. Not sure what the ’christmas’ is here, but at least this is not a watery spice bomb.
