(Keg at SOPP Helsinki 2017) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, bread and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, grass, bread, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A bit weird sweet brew.

Keg during the Skandinavian Beer Fest at The North Bar. Shared with ManVsBeer. Hazy golden body, dissipating white head, spotty lacing. Mid-dry smell of pine and wheat. Grapefruit drops and pine needles to the taste profile. Mid-dry fruity end. Easy to drink. Rounded mouth feel. Satisfying. (Leeds 06.07.2017).
