Draught @ Mikkeller Bar Helsinki. Fresh hoppy, roasty and grassy with some pine, floral notes, citrus, coffee and hints of chocolate and bitterness. Pretty nicely balanced black IPA. Nice to see that some breweries still make it, as it's one of my favourite styles.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar Helsinki. Stuffy, slightly earthy with some hints of cold coffee, cocoa and cinnamon, weird notes of some sourness. A bit weird and unbalanced.

0,44l can from the brewery shop, Espoo. The can says this is 3.0%. Hazy orange yellow beer with medium head. Aroma has nicely good amount of fruity, juicy citrus. Flavor is more dry with grass and fruits. Not watery at all, though. Actually quite good compared to the %.

(Can, 0.44 l, at Bierhaus Berlin, Helsinki, 20191205, thanks Sampo) The beer poured golden and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, citricness and grapefruit. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grapefruit, perfume, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was heavy and bitter. A tasty hoppy brew that turns too heavy towards the end.
