We're turning things deliciously upside down with an aggressively hopped, cold-fermented brew that brings together the clean, crisp finish of a lager with the hoppy aroma and character of an IPA. Prost, to turning convention on it's head.

Bottle Hazy light orange with a thin wispy off white head. Light hop and light cereal malt aroma. Soft and sweet flavor. Light grains, cereal and corn, with a touch of hop flavor but very little bitterness. Pleasant, I suppose.

Pours transparent slightly golden mostly yellow and leaves the same colored body, leaves a one finger white foamy head that quickly dies within a half a minute, barely any lacing shows any presence, but what there is clings slightly in rings; the aroma has citrusy hops, just a little bit of malt, and a bit of spiciness coming through, the flavor is slightly sweet, citrusy, spicy; long lasting spicy aftertaste, quick dry finish; its pretty easy on the palate; overall, good American Pale Lager that I would have again

355ml bottle @ Kaisla
Pours clear golden with a foamy head. Aroma of grassy hops, caramely malts, some hints of aged hoppy notes and vegetables. Taste is grassy, hoppy and slightly caramely with hints of bready malts and sweet citrus. Finish is sweetish, caramely and hoppy with hints of grass and bready malts. Okay, but doesn’t feel very fresh.

355ml bottle @ Kaisla. Clear golden, lacing, white head. Citrusy and sweet tropical fruits, hops in aroma. Flavor has malt, hops, citrus, grass. Bitter hoppy finish. First you get the malty lager flavor and soon the fruity hoppyness takes over. Refreshing.

Very well done ale, beautiful appearance wit thick frothy head and lots of thick lacing. Aroma is citrus and hops.. taste is primarily hops with a small malt backbone. Finish is sharp and tangy...a sipper (be prepared for the hops bite)

(Bottle, 0.355 l - bottled May 21 2013, at Oluttupa Viisi Penniä, 20130831) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, starch and citricness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, grain, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had solvent and bitterness. A boozy hoppy lager.
