330 ml bottle from Tallinna Kaubamaja Toidumaailm. Pours slightly hazy, straw. Aroma is very fresh, floral hops, smells really like a good IPA should smell. No hint of any malts though, so maybe slightly one-dimensional. Taste has also hops, a bit of pine-needle and resin as well. Quite fragrant for IPA, nicely refreshing. Main drawback is that it has pretty much almost no body - but for 2,7% it is quite expected. Overall quite nice, would be perfect for a hot summer day.

0,33L bottle, batch 1. Pours jet black with small tan head. The head stays for a moment. Aroma citrus, licorice, and coffee. Taste is sweet, coffee, caramel, a little bit creamy, watery, and fruity. Finish is nice coffee bitter with some biscuits flavors. Overall: surprisingly enjoyable beer, but not sure if I would call it IPA.

0,33L bottle, batch 1. Pours clear red amber with off white head. The head stays. Nice lacing. Aroma is hoppy, sourness, citrus, earthiness, caramel and alcohol. Taste is caramel, citrus, fruits, pine, and watery. Finish is lingering pine bitterness. Overall: a little bit too watery, but as I drank it got better and better.

0,33L bottle, batch 1. Pours slightly dull golden-amber with small white head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is sweet, fruits, pine, and biscuits. Taste is watery, hoppy, biscuits, some sweetness and pine. Finish is mild long resin bitter. Overall: I’m not a big fan of the style that I call “watery hoppy beers"; but as far as low ABV beers go, this is not bad.

33cl bottle from Selver, Tallinn. Pours very dark brown with a rather small, tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of dark malt and fruity hops, moderate roasty notes, some citrus, hints of coffee and some slightly wooden notes. Medium to moderate sweet with fairly mild flavours, both from the dark malt and the hops. Still quite balanced and pleasant, but a little bit boring. Not quite convinced, but quite drinkable.

33cl bottle at Pudel, Tallinn. Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Mild malty and fairly hoppy with fruits, caramel and hints of citrus and herbs. Something slightly strange present too, but not annoying. Moderate sweet with nice hoppy flavours and a balanced bitterness. Possibly some sourness too. Quite refreshing and nice...

33cl bottle from Selver, Tallinn. Pours almost clear deep golden with a white head. Fairly mild hoppy aroma with tropial fruits (passion), pale malt, notes of citrus and hints of pine. Slightly sweet, a bit watery and fairly mild in flavour, but still quite refreshing. Fairly decent session IPA, some strange elements present, but overall quite nice. (Batch #1)
