(Keg at Craft Beer Helsinki 2019) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, grain and vegetables. Palate was medium bodied and oily with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, vegetables and bitterness. Aftertaste was acrid. Something has gone wrong here.

Can from Pien, Helsinki. Dark and glossy cola brown. Aroma of sweet berries and coffee. Foamy beige head. Initial creamy sweet edged coffee before the bitterness ramps up. Underlying sour dark berries. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. I liked this. Has some character to it.

A golden and murky beer, a head is small and white. Aroma has banana, fruitness, yeast and some herbs. Taste has fruitness, some grain, herbs in the end, the bitterness is harsh. If this should be a Golden Ale, it's quite far away from traditional. Decent.

Smell of roasted malt, chocolate. Dark brown colour, very high brown head. Aroma of chocolate, licorice, some tar and roasted malt. Very bitter. Heavy body for this ABV. Wild carbon. Dry palate. Not at all bad.

Can 330ml (CBH Ullanlinna bottle shop)
Amber-copper colour, small beige head. Raisiny, yeasty, resiny aroma. Light-bodied. Caramalt, fermented raisins, resin, wood in the flavour. A bit flat feeling. Harsh finish. Somewhat homebrewish.
