330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, amber colour with average to huge, firm, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, pale sulphureous head. Mellow malty and slightly earthy, leafy, fruity hoppy aroma, hints of red berries, corresponding shrubs, a touch of orange, whiffs of garlic and raspberry. Taste is minimally toasty, bready, mellow malty with low residual sweetness, slightly dry and bitter, earthy, leafy, fruity hoppy, minimally tart-ish, slightly diluted hints of red berries, corresponding shrubs, a minimally sugary touch.
Watery texture, dry palate, medium to coarse, lively carbonation.
Okay-ish composition, but rather watery and quite overcarbonated - acceptable.

Lakeuden Panimojuhlat 2025. Has changed recipe and also beer style from American Amber to a Red Ale in 2022/23 sometime, according to Ronald who is behind the Flying Dutchman concept. Reddish amber colour with a mediumsized off-white foamy white head, which leaves good lace. Aroma is biscuity, some mild toasted tones with toffee and some mild nutty and wooden tones. Flavour is mild biscuity tones, wood, some nutty and a bit toasted elements with some sweet grainy tones too. A bit bitter in the finish too. Pleasant.
Magus, mõru, tsitrus, puuviljane, vesine. Ok.
