Cloudy tea brown, essentially no head. Scent is malty, caramel, juniper. Taste is sweet, prune, caramel, bread. Very flat... Probably better if a little more lively bodied....

Aroma is somewhat sweet and malty with juniper, berries and some vegetables. Flavour is malty with caramel, some juniper, metal, berries and vegetable notes. Too messy.

From a bottle enjoyed in Avon NC. Pours an opaque reddish amber with a feint, almost non existent, head. Interesting aroma evokes grape koolaid. Flavor is a different story entirely. First a sour and funky, almost lambic like, taste washes through, followed by the juniper notes with some hints of white pepper. Short tart finish. Definitely unique, not closely similar to anything I have had before. Probably an acquired taste -- much like Belgian sour beers. However, rather than growing on me, the more I drank of it the less I liked it.

Bottle. Corn syrup and cardboard aroma. Dark amber without head. Sweet corn syrup and juniper flavor. Okay but probably well past its prime.

No head, flat-looking and ugly. The nose is distinct and strong, sour and sweet and mildly acrid, not good but curious. Tastes insane, with a honey-sweet maltiness coupled with lemon-tart sour and a toasted, woodsy, herbal-honey finish that would definitely be nicer with a few bubbles. I can’t go so far as saying I like it, but this beer is history in a bottle, so I dig what it represents.

11.2 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy amber color with particles that settle on the bottom. Nearly no head. Aroma of toffee, caramel and faint notes of dried fruits. The taste is sweet malts, raisins, and a faintly herbal finish. Medium bodied. Reminds me of a bad baltic lager. Not a good beer. 6/1/10.

Bottle labeled Kataja Olut. Pours dark hazy amber color with almost no head. Fruity aroma and kind of funky, but not necessarily in a good way. Sour, tart and fruity cranberry flavor. Medium body with no carbonation. I wouldn’t recommend trying this.
