Bottled. Deep ruby, fine head. Intense aroma of cherry and dark chocolate. Sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Flavour alcohol and cocoa powder, crystalized sugar and blackberries. Fairly complex, but the clean hard mouthfeel is a minus.

Bottled
Hazy orange color, steady creamy off-white head. Aroma of honey, clover, coriander and yeast. Quite full-bodied, sticky. Flavor has a bit pepper, some dried yellow fruits (apricot, mango). Maybe wheat is used here, it gives such an impression. Finish is kind of liquerish. This is not a bad brew, it is just way too one-dimensional to get higher points than this.

Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Hazy amber, brief head. Evident banana aroma. Sweet and bready nice wonderfully soft and sparkling mouthfeel. Mild and inviting with spun sugar and caramel as well as orange and almondy yeast. An usassuming beer that don’t stick out anywhere, but shows high quality in every aspect. A laid back beer of the type I’d like to find in a countryside brewery to just sit an anjoy. Though it’s not the typical beer that sticks out in a crowd of RIS and DIPA it was my favourite beer of the vast amount of beers we emptied in the Finnish woods during teh weekend of Petalax Beer Festival.
