Draught@brewpub. Clear amber color, steady small creamy white head, some lace. Bready, mildly hoppy aroma. Starts rye-bready malty with light note of wort. Finish is nicely hoppy as well as aftertaste. Mostly clean, it is filtered, but more or less ok with balanced malt-hop profile. Stylewise more like "a premium lager" than a vienna. Karhupanimo’s beers are not so interesting, but they are technically well-brewed session beers. This one could go with sausages.

Draught@Karhupanimo. Hazy orange color, big cloudy white head. Banana and lemon in the nose, also some grainy notes. Brewed in the classic German style: banana, esters, chewy maltyness with flowery and lemony notes in the finish. Refreshing and balanced weizen. Suprisingly good, draught version just lacks fruityness from the yeast, which bottled hefeweizen usually have. Probably one of the best Finnish wheat beers around.

Draught@Schönes Fräulein, Pori. Easter beer. Dark ruby brown color, small creamy beige head. Light aroma of toasted oat and malts. Caramel, some chocolate in the flavor with light hoppy note in the finish. Ok malty backbone. Typical Finnish Easter/XMas Vienna, perhaps sweeter and maltier with more craft beer touch than the bottled ones. Good beer for its purpose (food and session).
