A reddish yellow beer, a head is blond and medium. Aroma has wheta, spicyness, fruitness of lemon, hint of caramel. Taste has wheat, some caramel, low spicyness. Medium bodied. Notes of caramel are weird, it's not a bad but also it's not giving anything more.

33cl bottle from Alko, Helsinki. Pours clear deep golden to amber with a modest, but lasting, white head. Hoppy aroma with notes of cat piss, herbs, ripe fruits and citrus. Medium sweet and fairly hoppy with a solid malty backbone and a balanced bitterness. Fairly easy to drink and enjoyable without being particularly memorable.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with a decent head. Aroma is hay, butter, lawn. Body is light and fresh, with a lively carbonation. Quite bitter, decently hoppy without sacrificing the malt body. Dry palate. Balanced and thirst quenching, good.

Bottle. Pours clear amber. Aroma is some tropical fruit, little citric, but also clearly some resin and pine needles. Body is heavy, strongly bitter with a healthy residual sweetness lurking behind. Forest floor and pine, some honey and tropical fruit, quite balanced as far as the range of flavours go. Lingering bitter palate. Good, but a bit too much on the bitter side and rather straightforward, little complexity.
