Draught. Pours dark amber with a big off white head. Smells sweet of malt and caramell. The body is a bit to thin.

Bottle: Poured a medium copper color with average foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramel malt with a dry hoppy finish. Taste is not the most complex but caramel malt are well done and the hops are clearly noticeable in the aftertaste. Full boy for the style with good carbonation. Well done and no distinguishable flaws but maybe lacking some character.

Picked this up from Beer Merchants, Cave Direct, cheers Phil L Had this outside Frank (Camper) in campsite by the sea 17-09-08 Pours amber with white head. Nice toffee and malt flavours in fact quite toffee appleish, nicely bitter in the right places. Not too sweet, some vanilla fudge on nose, really decent beer.

(Draught at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2008-09-26) Copper red. Clear. Largish quickly disappearing white head. Malty nose. Full bodied and dryish palate with lot of carbonation. Malts, roastedness, bitterness and hint of sweetness in taste. Bitterness in aftertaste that lasts quite long.

delicious strong aroma, dark fruits , citrups, hops. clear dark yellow with large lasting off-white head. Flavor : fantastic. ipa style , but somewhat underplayed and thus extremely drinkable. well balanced, i can’t figure what it tastes like, but it is very very good. both appearance and palate is like 3.49 or so, but i’ll add one in overall to compensate. If You like non-extreme IPA style beers with a clear micro/quality taste, this one is fantastic.
