Tap at Drinkøteka. Murky orange-golden body, thick off-white head. Citric, peachy and overall heavily vegetal aroma. Smooth, soft, elegant, bit creamy body, highly drinkable... And yet the low citric and stone fruit notes get overwhelmed by this weird huge vegetal note. Yeah, nah. Something went wrong here. And I can totally see this being lovely, the body is nice, the alcohol well hidden, but what I'm drinking right now is... Not worth the money invested. Sadly.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half foamy off white head, sly lace
Aroma: rich dark roasted malts, earthy yeasty vibes, dark bread, some toast
Flavor: bready/toasty sweet with a mild yeasty backing, dry toasty and roasty aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, closer to being sessionable than a sipper, some grip on my tongue, dry toasty and semi-yeasty finish
Overall: I'd say a nicely done dark lager worthy of returning to.

Keg @ Oluthuone Haka, Helsinki.
Poured orange in color.
Ripe mango in a full body. Has a light bitterness fortunately that saves this beer. Citrus/lemony notes in aroma as well. Gets more vivid as it opens up.
