Amber colour, small beige head and lace. Harsh aroma with some riped tropical fruits. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruits, some breadyness, typical Saimaa harshness. Very similar to other Saimaa pale ales. Meh.

Can 500ml (Alko Sokos, BB 02/2019)
Amber colour, small steady white head and lace. Harsh, grainy aroma with some caramel. Light to medium-bodied. Extra harsh Saimaa flavour. Grain, caramel, white raisins and vinegums. Long harsh aftertaste. What a mess.

Can 500ml (S-Market Tikkula)
Copper colour, medium-sized beige head. Papery, a bit caramelly nose. Light-bodied. Caramalty not overly sweet, also a bit toasted, some bitterness in the aftertaste. Simple, typical Finnish XMas beer but more drinkable than the most of Saimaa's pale ale line.

An orange beer, a head is quite big and blond. Aroma has citrus and notes of tropical fruitness, cantaloupe and hint of herbs. Taste has (over-)riped fruitness, harsh and almost medium bitterness. Medium bodied. Not freshness, so typical Saimaa's brew.

Can 50 cl. Pours a clear deep golden - close to amber - with a white head. Sweet, malty, caramellish nose. Medium body, again very sweet and toffeeish, carbonation a little low, quite fruity with a bitter finish. Totally no focus on aroma. 210818
