(Bottle, 0.33 l - batch 43 - BB 2019-03-11, from Alko Arkadia, 20181019) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, liquorice and ash. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, sweetness, ash, dark chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, burnt and bitter. Too much sweetness but otherwise surprisingly good.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy golden with a dense and lively white head leaving some lacework. Nose is yeasty, spice and a little greasy. Medium body, fruity, yeasty, a little moldy with some phenols. Rather bitter finish. 290818

Bottle from ferry. Unclear orange with big, white head. Grains, soap, perfume, a little bit of plastic. Citrusy flavor, with some malty biscuits and chalky. Surely not a NEIPA.

Bottle from the Taxfree on M/S Gabriella, Hel-Sto. Hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma of grapefruit, hops and light malt. The same in the taste. The finish was medium bitter. Nothing special.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze and a lively and frothy, white head. Actually, when you start pouring the beer starts gushing. It has 17 days of shelf life back, but it's clearly not really behaving. Chalky nose, a not overly fresh hop note. Medium body, somewhat rustic as in slowly falling apart leading up to a bitter finish. Clearly past its prime. 060818
