Tap @ Villi Wäinö, Helsinki. Pours golden, realtively clear some forma and leaves nice lacings. Was worried if this is really that "farmhouse" style that I enjoy - or is it something differen. No worries, nose confirms that this is funky enough for my taste, fruity, sweetish aroma, filled with funk and horse sweat, some fermented ripe apples. Taste is balanced, fruity and funky, light bitterness. Refreshing and flavourful. Maybe this one has aged a bit now and flavours have blended together in the way that they were supposed to. Great stuff, enjoying this quite a bit.

(Keg at Kaisla, 20180504, thanks Janne) The beer poured deep amber and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness and grapefruit. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, floralness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A nice hoppy brew with sweet maltiness and nice bitterness.

From backlog. Draught @ Tommyknocker, Helsinki. Pours hazy dark orange with a bubbly head. Aroma of juicy tropical fruits, citrus, mango, pine, grass and herbal hops. Taste is sweetish, juicy and chewy fruity with some tropical notes, pine, citrus, grapefruit and mango juice. Finish is chewy and caramely with some pine, citrus, grapefruit, mango, tropical fruits and juicy pineapple. Okay, but not quite as good as #3.
