It’s our best selling beer for a reason. Simple pale malts provide a base for a complex blend of hops. The colour is very pale with lemon citrus and floral flavours, progressing to a spicy mouthfeel and a clean earthy bitterness in the finish.

A slightly cloudy, light yellow beer with a medium and white head. Aroma is fresh and aromatic, nice, fruits, citrusfruits, some fructose and grass. Taste is quite dry, malts, fruits, herbs and lavender, medium bitterness. Only light bodied, but that is not bothering, medium carbonation. Unique and aromatic beer with enough of bitterness.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 07/2013
Aroma is quite fruity with hops, gooseberry bush and birch leaves. Also a slight English feeling with toffee. Flavour has hops, some gooseberry bush and grapefruit. Finishes dry and leathery with hay. Good, and made me even forgot that ABV is only 3,8%.

(Bottle, 0.5 l, at Pikkulintu, 20120929) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grain, sweetness and grass. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grain, fruitiness, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was grassy, malty and bitter. A tasty and balanced beer with very low ABV.
