Bottle at Stones, Helsinki. Dark brown amber color, tiny off-white head. Toasted, a bit salty and citrusy aroma. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Caramel in front but otherwise quite like CDA. Citrus, pine, roasted maltyness. Some yeasty notes. Strong hops all over. Lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. A bit thin for this abv.
