Tap at Drink Bar, Tallinn. Pours hazy yellow, two-finger thick sticky foam that even stays there for a bit. Aroma is fruity but rather mildly so. Fresh, some cut grass and tree leaves with a slight tingling of some hops. Taste reveals a smooth and softly carbonated, slightly hopped body that is well in sync with the beers soft and non-aggressive herbal-fruity character. Not too much into your face but does klick most of the characteristics of a good IPA. I also think that keg is probably better for this beer than bottle.

On tap at Drink Baar, Tallinn. Deep golden to amber with a lasting off-white head. Fairly fruity, but also slightly malty and buttery aroma with notes of tropical fruits and caramel. Medium sweet with rather mild hoppy and fruity flavours and a fairly bitter finish. Quite okay.
