Draught @ the brewpub
Aroma is very light with hay, fruits and grainy malt. Slightly contaminated feeling here. Flavour has hay, grainy malt and slight fruitiness. Also grassy hops, gooseberry bush and a slight feeling of contamination – which seems to be the house flavour of Koulu. Feels more like a kellerbier than pale lager. The best beer of Koulu so far in its style.

Aroma is sourish with gooseberry bush, butter and berries. Also some grainy malt, honey and hints of corn in the background. Feels a contaminated. Flavour is somewhat sour with grainy malt, hints of honey, gooseberry bush, stinging herbal notes and grassy hops. A slight contaminated feeling here also, the sourness still kind of fits here and does not completely ruin the show. Lacks the bulky feeling basic Aura has.

Draught @ the brewpub. Rated on 13.05.2011.
Aroma is floury with some wheat, bubblegum and citrus notes. Flavour is somewhat floury with wheat, yeast, bubblegum and hints of banana esthers. The good thing here is the lack of oversweet banana – the bad thing is the stale floury notes.

Hand bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Clear pale yellow. Fruity nose with some hay and boiled vegetables. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and light-medium body. Fruity with more honey than hops, some resiny bitterness.

Draught at the brewpub. Golden body, dusty yeasty appley nose. The taste started out dusty, yeasty and appley as well, only to develop a light acidity and nice notes of bubblegum. And banana. It really grew on me. My initial rating would’ve been around 2.6 too, but towarda the end my respect for this grew rapidly. Not too traditional but definitely a tasty cider!

As just ’Oktober’, at the brewpub. Thanks Tuukka! Shiny orange-amber body. Light dry grainy nose. Similar taste only more fruity and yeasty. Not bad, far from special.
