A murky, orange beer, a head is small and blond. Aroma has unspesified fruitness with tropical notes, but slightly messy. Taste has the same fruitness as in the aroma, quite mild bitterness. Surprisingly, medium bodied. Too messy flavours and thus overally feels slightly unfinished.

Tap at Kaisla, Helsinki. Color is cloudy golden with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Wheat, fruits, citrus, dryness, rhubarb, some hops and malts. Rhubarb makes this one very dry. Pretty fresh.

Draught @ Kaisla 18.10. Poured hazy golden color with a thick white head. Ripe banana, wheat, spices in aroma. Watery feel, wheat and mild spicyness, could maybe be the rhubarb. Light bodied.
