Smell of hops, some spice. Clear amber colour, small white head. Hopsy bitterness, slight sourness. Lively carbonation. Kinda dull.

33cl bottle. Poured pale golden with a thin white head. Aroma is fruity hops, sligthly nutty and hint of hay. Flavor is bitter hops, grapefruit and hay. Finish is very bitter. Very light body.

Bottled (from Alko, Vaasa). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is quite fruity and floral hops with some sweet crisp maltyness as well. Flavour is quite similar in a nice balance. Long and lingering fruity, floral and grassy hoppy aftertaste. A very nice surprise from Saimaan Panimo! Though it’s a bit more like an APA than IPA both for abv and hoppyness.

Aroma is rather thin with hay and hints of fruity hops. Also some bready malt and metal. Flavour is hoppy with hay, some metal and hints of honey. It is a bit short, only the hops linger in mouth after the swallow. Some moldy cellar notes on the last sips. Thin palate. The hops are nice, but there’s simply nothing more here.

A lightly orange yellow beer with a extremely weak and blond head. Aroma is malty and biscuity, grass, slightly metallic and aromatic. Taste is also biscuity and dry, medium bitterness, and high bitterness can be noticed on dry and slightly herbal afterteste. Medium bodied, smooth and easily to enjoy. Only strong bitterness doesn’t make beer to an IPA. Simple, malty and bitter beer with a flowing drinkability.

Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma has fruityness, and is grapefruity, some yeasty-like twisted notes. Light to medium bodied with quite watery palate. Flavor has also grapefruity. Light lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Basicly there is nothing wrong with this ... it just needs more malts and more hops!

Bottled@Konttori. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, wheat, herbs and some mild notes of wheat. Flavour is wheat, some yeast, mild dough and some spices. Pleasantly balanced flavour. Aroma sucks, but flavour I would say is quite ok for a German Hefe, which still isn’t my favourite beer style.

A black beer with a quite weak and light brown head. Aroma is pleasant, roasted, liquirice, strawberries, quite lot of sweetness. Taste is overally simple, roasted, ryebread, quite dry and slightly burned aftertaste. Only medium bodied and it’s too light for this kind of beer. A slightly controversial beer, nice aroma, but simple taste combined with slightly too light body weaken the overall impression. Anyway, this is good beer and the glass was quickly empty.

shared at ungstrup tasting. I think i traded this one with papsoe (notes gone) clear brown, small white head. sweet flowery aroma, slightly malty, flavor is bitter malty, slightly flowery, sweet syrup.
